HC Deb 16 May 1994 vol 243 c309W
Mr. Enright

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what was the budget of the Teaching as a Career unit for each year of its existence in relation to its English functions.

Mr. Robin Squire

The Teaching as a Career unit was set up in 1987 to serve both England and Wales. The table shows the annual expenditure for running costs and publicity. The Welsh Office contributes one eighteenth of the running costs of the unit, but has a separate budget for Welsh-only advertising and publications.
