§ Mr. WattsTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what impact this year's funding proposals will have on the Government's policy of bridging the funding gap between sixth form schools, sixth form colleges and community colleges who provide sixth form provision. [62252]
§ Margaret HodgeThe Government remain committed to bringing up the level of funding for colleges towards that of schools. We have always made it clear that we must look to the spending review settlement for 2003–04 and beyond to address this issue. We will make a further announcement when the outcome of the spending review is known.
