§ Miss WiddecombeGovernment-funded training programmes in England and Wales are delivered through training and enterprise councils.
TECs may generate operating surpluses by sub-contracting training programmes at lower unit prices than those negotiated with the Department, by keeping administrative costs below the management fee paid by the Department, by earning other income or by carrying out other business in accordance with their articles and memorandum of association.
The surplus generated from all these activities is shown in the TECs published accounts. The operating surplus accumulated specifically from Government-funded training programmes is not published separately.
A full set of accounts for each TEC, for the financial years 1990–91, 1991–92 and 1992–93 has been placed in the Library.
