§ Mr. Tony LloydTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what were the objectives of the research commissioned by his Department from KPMG Peat Marwick regarding training and enterprise councils; what were the conclusions of that report; and if he will place a copy in the Library.
§ Miss WiddecombeKPMG Peat Marwick was commissioned in June 1992 to explore the advantages, disadvantages and practical implications of moving to a higher level of output-related payments to training and enterprise councils for youth training and employment training.
The consultants concluded that it was not feasible to move entirely to output-related payments without major changes to the systems when operating.
New funding arrangements for YT and training for work are now being tested in a smaller number of TECs in England.
A copy of the report from KPMG will be placed in the Library.
