HC Deb 24 March 2004 vol 419 c895W 895W

§ Mr. Drew
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills whether he plans to ringfence budgets for schools for in-service training purposes following the ending of specific support under the Standards Fund. [162742]

No, we are committed to reducing ringfenced budgets for schools. We believe that schools will get best value from their budgets by managing them as a whole in accordance with their own priorities.
