I have a question for the two chairmen of the board. What issues have arisen in recent years as a consequence of the merger of the former VECs to create the new training boards? In both cases, as I understand it, the large membership includes local authority members, two staff members, parent members and five other members appointed under section 11 of the legislation. In the view of the chairmen, have the amalgamations leading to the establishment of their respective boards worked out well in practice?
