Car chief heads Training Standards Council

VAUXHALL Motors boss Nick Reilly will chair the Government's new Training Standards Council. The council, set up to investigate bad practice and fraud in public-funded training, will begin inspections in April. "Incorrect and uncertain" payments of Pounds 8.6 million were made by the Department for Education and Employment to training providers in 1995/96, according to the Public Accounts Committee. A chief inspector will be appointed shortly.
