2. Block 1 of the tables includes youth training including youth credits, WRFE, education business partnerships, careers libraries, careers partnerships, teacher placement services and Compacts.

3. Block 2, for 1991–92 and 1992–93 includes employment training, employment action and higher technology national training. In 1993–94 these programmes were merged into a new programme called training for work.

4. In 1991–92 the London regional office of the Employment Department ran employment action for two TEC areas—North-West London and West London.

5. Block 3 relates to business enterprise support.

6. In 1991–92 and 1992–93 block 4 included the local initiative fund and national development projects. In 1993–94 block 4 includes the local initiative fund, gateway to learning and access to assessment. Gateway to learning and access to assessment were previously run as national development projects.

7. Block 5 relates to the management fee paid to TECs. The spend data are not available for.

8. All spend data are taken from the TEC invoice.

9. Budget data are taken from TEC planning tables. For 1993–94, budget data include additions and virements made up to 24 January 1994. They are therefore likely to be marginally different than the original budgets agreed with TECs at the beginning of the contract year.
