HC Deb 17 February 2000 vol 344 c652W
20. Mr. Borrow

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will make a statement on post-16 education in Lancashire. [109150]

Mr. Wicks

The new Learning and Skills Council will, for the first time ever, bring post-16 funding into a single body to invest in learning and skills. It will cut out the waste and bureaucracy of the current system. This is good news for the people of Lancashire.
