The information requested by the Deputy is outlined in the following table for the years 1987-94.Records prior to 1987 are not readily available in my Department. Figures quoted in relation to the present financial situation of vocational education committees are as submitted by the relevant vocational education committees in their financial statements, V15s, for the year ended 31 December 1994 and are provisional pending examination by my Department and audit by the Comptroller and Auditor General. Some vocational education committees have not yet submitted financial statements for 31 December 1994.
