To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what targets for special needs training are included in the contracts for each of the training and enterprise councils; when the contracts are due for review; and if he will make a statement. [6682]

Dr. Howells

All TECs have targets for the numbers of unemployed adults with disabilities joining Training for Work and young people endorsed as having special training needs in Youth Training. TECs are required to ensure that all trainees on their programmes have a training plan based on an assessment of their individual needs, including any special training needs, TEC contracts are reviewed regularly and renegotiated in March each year.
