§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what initiatives have been taken in 1993 by training and enterprise councils, in conjunction with private industry, to promote job creation in environmental projects and manufacture of environmental technology.
§ Miss WiddecombeThis information is not generally available centrally, but I am aware of several good examples. For instance, West London training and enterprise council has a series of initiatives to help businesses to become more environmentally conscious ; Northumberland TEC is involved in a project developing business and management training with a key objective to improve the understanding of environmental issues; and Dudley TEC has piloted a project which links schools and employers in projects on environmental and amenity improvements to industrial premises using computer technology.
