To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science since 1979, what has been the annual expenditure on (a) the professional industrial commercial updating programme—PICKUP—and (b) REPLAN, expressed (i) in cash terms, (ii) in constant 1991 prices and (iii) as a figure which indicates the amount of EC funding included in each programme.
The annual expenditure on the Department's PICKUP and REPLAN programmes in England since they began in 1982 and 1984 respectively is given in the table. Information on EC funding to individual further and higher education institutions which may have been used to support their PICKUP or REPLAN type activities is not held centrally by the Department.

Notes to table:
1. The PICKUP figures include the salary costs of PICKUP regional offices.
2. They exclude funding by the Universities Funding Council (and its predecessor, the UGC) and the Polytechnics and Colleges Funding Council (and its predecessor, the NAB) to meet the start-up costs of developing vocational continuing education: figures are not available on a basis that allows for a comparison over time or which is consistent with figures for the directly DES funded programme. It is estimated that the UFC will provide some £10 million to support the development of PICKUP provision in England in academic year 1991–92; and the PCFC will provide some £5 million in financial year 1991–92.
3. The figures include both the local education authority and the
