| As at 31 March 2001, the following liabilities fell to be met from the Department's Estimate:
| |
| Statutory | |
|
| Non-Statutory | |
|
Department for Education and Employment Ministers gave their agreement that Training and Enterprise Councils and third parties taking over TEC contracts could be offered indemnities in respect of certain liabilities that arose or continued after the contractural relationship with Government ended on 25 March 2001. The purpose of these indemnities was to give TEC Directors, or a liquidator, sufficeint assurances to conclude that relationship and either return residual reserves owing to the Secretary of State, or distribute these with the Secretary of State's agreement at the earliest opportunity. For third parties, indemnities would protect them from claims realting to events prior to the novation of the contract.
To this end, the Employment Service has agreed to offer indemnities of less than £12m in respect of Employment Service contracts with TECs, that have been novated as a result of the conclusion of Government business, in respect of repayments claimned following audit of past contract activity.

|
| There is an unquantifiable liability in respect of the legal responsibility that the Secreatry of State has as sole guarantor of Remploy Ltd. The liability is secured by an all monies debenture.
| Unquantifiable |
|
| During the course of its normal business, the Employment Service frequently enters into large, sometimes long term, contracts with a wide range of private sector suppliers. The changing nature of Employment Service business, and its obligation to resond to prevailing government priorities can mean that it is occasionally in the Agency's interest to try to vary, re-negotiate or, in exceptional circumstances, cancel certain contracts. Where the Employment Service takes such action, it always does so on legal advice and so as to avoid a breach of contract. However, disputes occasionally arise which could result in the Employment Service making compensatory payments in ersponse to legal proceedings or as part of an out of court settlement. The Employment Service considers that the disclosure of such cases in detail, particularly whilst negotiations are still in progress, could seriously prejudice the position if legal proceedings subsequently develop. There were no such contractural disputes outstanding at 31 March 2001 where a settlement had been agreed. For cases still under negotiation, the total value of outstanding claims made against the Employment Service by suppliers at the time of the balance sheet date was less than £10m, but it is not yet known whether the Employment Service will need to make any compensatory payments.
