Funding (Further Education and Tertiary Colleges) (Hansard, 3 June 1997)

HC Deb 03 June 1997 vol 295 c123W 123W

§ Mr. Vaz
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what plans he has to reform the funding of further education and tertiary colleges; and if he will make a statement. [1461]

§ Dr. Howells
Under the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 it is the statutory responsibility of the Further Education Funding Council for England to give financial support to the governing bodies of institutions in the further and higher education sector for the provision of further education. My right hon. Friend has no plans to change that arrangement.
