[107644]
§ Mr. WicksThe new arrangements for learning and skills will cut through the present duplication and bureaucracy and will secure savings of at least £50 million a year across post 16 learning, which will be invested in improving the quality of learning. The savings come from two main sources. Nearly £15 million will be saved because Government Offices for the regions will no longer need to contract with 72 TECs. The remainder will come partly from operating through fewer local branches—47 instead of 72, and partly from operating through more efficient systems, with less negotiation and contracting.
