§ Mr. Ron DaviesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what has been his Department's expenditure on TECs in 1994–95; and what are the plans for(a) 1995–96 and (b) 1996–97. [16338]
§ Mr. RedwoodNegotiations are continuing with TECs on their contracts for 1995–96. When these negotiations are completed I will write to the hon. Member.
Final outturn figures for 1994–95 will not be available until the appropriation accounts are approved. When I write to the hon. Member on TEC contracts, I will let him also have the latest provisional outturn figures available at the time.
Expenditure in 1996–97 will be dependent on TEC contract negotiations which will take place early in 1996.
