Mr. Blair
To ask the Secretary of State for Employment when he next expects to terminate contracts with training providers including TECs.
Mr. Eggar
Training providers are currently renegotiating contracts with the Training Agency or with training and enterprise councils (TECs) where these are now operational. As further TECs become operational they will take over contracts with training providers in line with their approved corporate and business plans. Termination of contracts with training providers will depend on the terms of individual contracts and on operational requirements.
