Mr. Callaghan: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if she will make a statement regarding the adequacy of
training available to small firms. [10604]
Mr. Paice: Small firms can access training through local employer-led bodies such as training and enterprise councils and business
links. TECs' specific small firms initiatives have helped nearly 13,000 small firms develop their training effort in the last 18
months alone. Recently published statistics show that, nationally, 84 per cent. of smaller firms have provided training for their
employees, using a variety of methods to suit their circumstances.
As a direct response to business needs, Government undertook a comprehensive review last year, aimed at simplifying support to
businesses. A key outcome for my Department of this review is the establishment of the local competitiveness budget from April 1997.
This will continue to provide wide-ranging advice and support to local firms through TECs and business links.

Mr. Callaghan: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is the expected road life of the existing motorways in the
north-west of England; and if he will make a statement. [39959]
Mr. Watts: I have asked the chief executive of the Highways Agency to write to the hon. Member.
Letter from Lawrie Haynes to Mr. Jim Callaghan, dated 15 October 1996:
The Secretary of State for Transport has asked me to reply to your recent question asking about the expected road life of the
existing motorway in the North West of England.
Regular inspections and surveys are carried out to determine maintenance needs and timing of the trunk motorway network. The latest
assessment of the residual life of the carriageways shows that 7.6 per cent. of the trunk motorway network in the North West,
including Cumbria, will within the next four years reach the point where future performance becomes unpredictable and maintenance
needs to be considered. The equivalent figure nationally is 12.7 per cent. These figures show that the motorway network is in good
structural condition. Roads are generally designed to last for 20 years before they require major maintenance and, at any time,
about 20 per cent. of the motorway network could be expected to fall within the above category.
These figures exclude carriageways constructed wholly of concrete for which there is currently no reliable method of measuring
residual life.

employment where there will be skill shortage in the remainder of the 1990s; and what assessment she has made of the impact these
shortages will have on manufacturing industry. [39995]
Mr. Paice: The Department commissions an annual survey of employers assessing the extent of hard-to-fill vacancies currently and in
12 months' time. Rapidly changing technology, international competition and customer needs mean skills shortages cannot be predicted
too far ahead. It is for local training and enterprise councils to monitor labour market needs in their own areas. Government
programmes such as training for work, national traineeships and modern apprenticeships provide the basis of provision for the
identified needs.

Mr. Callaghan: To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if she will make a statement on the level of investment in
tourism projects in the North-west region. [39992]
Mr. Sproat: The North West tourist board receives funding from the English tourist board to develop the quality of the tourism
product in north-west England. The ETB subvention to the NWTB was £414,000 in 1995-96. The NWTB raised a further £1.42 million in
income from commercial activities and local authority and commercial members' subscriptions. Tourism in the region also benefits
from the single regeneration budget, and from Objective 1 status for Merseyside and objective 2 status for Greater Manchester,
Lancashire and Cumbria under the European regional development fund. Twenty-eight mecu is allocated to tourism and cultural projects
within the 1994 to 1999 objective 1 programme in Merseyside, and 24 mecu within the 1994 to 1996 objective 2 programme in Greater
Manchester, Lancashire and Cumbria.
