HC Deb 24 March 2004 vol 419 c901W
Mr. Mallon

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when annual funding to the Southern Education and Library Board will be made available; and if he will make a statement. [160333]

Jane Kennedy

I am pleased to say that all Education and Library Boards have now received details of their financial allocations for the 2004–05 financial year. These allocations reflect the Government's focus on improving the quality of service delivery in primary and post-primary education linked to a quality youth service.
