§ Dr. GodmanTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the training companies in the Inverclyde area and the sums of money paid out of public funds to each of them over the past five years; how many trainees each of them trained over the same period of time; of these trainees, how many found full-time employment when their training programmes were completed; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Stewart[holding answer 2 March 1994]: The information requested by the hon. Member is not available for the Inverclyde area in the period before April 1991, when responsibility for the delivery of Government training programmes in lowland Scotland was transferred from the Training Agency to Scottish Enterprise and its network of local enterprise companies. Since then the allocation of funding for training, and the numbers of trainees trained in each local enterprise company area has been an operational matter for Scottish Enterprise. I have asked the chairman of Scottish Enterprise to write to the hon. Member.
