Mr. Mallon: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what action has been taken to ensure that (a) pupils' work
placements in Northern Ireland and (b) the network of local Business Education Partnerships do not suffer as a result of the
closure of Northern Ireland Business Education Partnerships (NIBEP); and what steps have been taken to ensure that the knowledge and
information system developed by NIBEP as a basis for planning in this area are not lost. [190658]
Mr. Gardiner: As an interim measure and to minimise inconvenience where Charter Work Experience (NIBEP's work placement programme)
is the mechanism used to make arrangements for placements, my Department has approved arrangements made by NIBEP with Business in
the Community for Charter's staff to continue to work up to the end of May 2005. This will facilitate placements which are currently
in the pipeline.
The local Business Education Partnerships had in recent months set up a Network which NIBEP was supporting. The Departments consider
the Network to be of value and have indicated to it that while they could not support it by providing staff, they would be prepared
to consider a proposal for modest funding as an interim measure.
At the time of, or shortly before, NIBEP's closure arrangements are to be made to uplift all of NIBEP's relevant information sources
to the Department of Education, including NIBEP's Programme Management database.

Mr. Spellar: The funding scheme for minority ethnic voluntary organisations was not the subject of an equality impact assessment
when it was established in April 2001.
In the event of any change to the policy of the existing scheme, in light of the new Race Equality Strategy, it will be subject to
assessment under section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998.
