HC Deb 06 February 1998 vol 305 c856W
Mr. Hoyle

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what plans he has to increase the accountability of TECs and training agencies for their spending. [26494]

Dr. Howells

We believe the arrangements we have put in place, including through the TEC contract, provide a sound basis for accounting for public funds spent through TECs. We will, however, keep these arrangements under review to ensure they are working effectively.
