HC Deb 20 April 2000 vol 348 cc599-600W
Mr. Ben Chapman

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will publish the recently completed Financial Management Survey of the Teacher Training Agency. [120483]

Ms Estelle Morris

In accordance with the Government's policy of conducting quinquennial reviews of all non-departmental public bodies, my Department has undertaken a review of the Teacher Training Agency. I am today publishing the results of stage two of the quinquennial review, which comprised a financial management survey of the agency.

The survey report states that the agency has good levels of financial control and has in place effective organisation, finance and management structures and systems. The report's recommendations will help the agency to address the areas for relatively minor improvement which have been identified, and make best use of resources in taking forward its corporate objectives.

Copies of the financial management survey report are being placed in the Library of both Houses.
