HL Deb 16 February 1993 vol 542 cc69-70WA
Lord Inglewood

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many of the appointed lead bodies have the scope of producing management competences for the National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) within the National Training Framework.

Viscount Ullswater

The Management Charter Initiative has the lead body role for defining standards of competence relevant to the generality of managers. However, it is open to any of the 166 lead bodies to define standards of competence for management roles that are specific to the occupations within their remit.
