HC Deb 18 June 1991 vol 193 c119W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what assessment he has made of the level of provision for the youth service in Inner London since the abolition of the inner London education authority.

Mr. Atkins

The level of provision for education for all local authorities is made by standard spending assessment. It is entirely for individual local authorities to decide how to deploy the resources available to them, including provision for the youth service.
