HC Deb 30 March 1993 vol 222 c139W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what proposals he has for increases in the budgets of the training and enterprise councils in the areas covered by pit closures in Wales for specific additional training schemes for former coal miners affected by the coal industry pit closure programme.

Sir Wyn Roberts

I have announced resources of over £106 million in 1993–94 for TECs in Wales—a massive investment enabling them to have on offer a range of opportunities including skills training at all levels and support for those wishing to start their own businesses. I will continue to review provision with the TECs in the light of developments in those areas relevant to the coal review.
