HC Deb 26 July 1993 vol 229 cc686-7W
Mr. Ron Leighton

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on the work of London East TEC in the London borough of Newham.

Miss Widdecombe

London East Training and Enterprise Council—LETEC—in common with all training and enterprise councils, is providing a wide range of services and initiatives in education, enterprise and training which it considers to be appropriate for the needs of its local area. The London borough of Newham benefits from many of LETEC's area wide programmes, as well as specific local programmes. It also has the advantage of Stratford city challenge resources contributing to the development of its most deprived area.
