HC Deb 24 February 1994 vol 238 c387W
Mr. Tony Lloyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list for each training and employment council(a) the level of funding obtained by the TEC from his Department and other sources and (b) the number of staff employed for each year since their establishment.

Miss Widdecombe

I refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Basingstoke (Mr. Hunter) on 13 December 1993,Official Report, column 512.

This provides details of the level of funding made available to each training and enterprise council by the Department for the last three years.

The Department does not maintain a record of TECs' income from other source. The TECs' published accounts, copies of which are held in the Library, contain all the information publicity available on this subject.

The Department does not collect information on the number of staff employed by TECs.

Mr. Hunter

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will place in the Library a copy of the planning guidance for training and enterprise councils for 1994–95.

Miss Widdecombe

I can advise my hon. Friend that arrangements have been made for a copy of the latest planning guidance for training and enterprise councils for 1994–95 to be placed in the Library.
