HC Deb 07 July 1993 vol 228 cc195-6W
Mr. Leighton

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what is the budget for each TEC for 1993–94.

Miss Widdecombe

The Training, Enterprise and Education Directorate regional offices are currently finalising contracts with training and enterprise councils (TECs) for 1993–94 budgets and the information is not yet available.

We have decided that TEC level information should only be released publicly six months after the beginning of the contracting year. The information must remain commercially confidential while TECs are negotiating with their providers. The information requested on TEC budgets for 1993–94 will therefore be publicly available on 1 October 1993.
