To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what criteria he has set down for the circumstances in which training and enterprise councils may fund visits to overseas conferences; and if he will make a statement.
We have given training and enterprise councils a great deal of freedom of action to carry out the plans on which the Department contract with them. It is for them to decide on matters of this kind.
To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will give details of the costs of the visit to the conference on partnership in education, in Washington DC which are being borne by the Teesside training and enterprise council.
Training and enterprise councils have been given an important role in ensuring that education and training are relevant to the needs of local business. Through the contract the Department has with each TEC we agree the overall outputs they will achieve for the funding they receive. As such, detailed matters such as attendance at conferences are for the TEC itself to decide.
