§ Mr. HinchliffeTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment if she will publish a table of annual income and expenditure for each training and enterprise council since its inception.

§ Mr. HinchliffeTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many members of the public in training and enterprise council areas are informed about TEC's spending priorities and projects.
§ Mr. McLoughlinA summary of the TEC's business plan and a full copy of the corporate plan are available at the TEC's business premises and can be accessed by any member of the public. Over and above this, every TEC is required to hold a public meeting once a year to explain their plans and activities and to produce an annual report.
§ Mr. CorbynTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment if she will provide a table showing the total allocation to training and enterprise councils for 1993–94 for each programme or activity and the allocation for each programme or activity to each TEC.
§ Mr. McLoughlinThe information that the hon. Member has requested is not yet available. We are currently in negotiations with TECs on targets and funding for 1993–94 and have not yet agreed TEC 1993–94 budgets.
