HC Deb 26 March 1979 vol 965 cc65-6W
20. Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the statement from Liverpool inner areas adult education consortium concerning second chance education, details of which have been sent to him by the hon. Member for Liverpool, Scotland Exchange.

Mr. Shore

The three linked projects proposed by the Liverpool inner area adult education consortium have been fully supported by the partnership authorities. One of them—the Scotland Road education group—has been offered support through the urban programme for Organisation countries have increased or declined in each of the years since 1974.

Mr. Mulley

The information requested is set out in the table below. The percentages shown are based on defence expenditure in national currencies at current prices, and thus reflect the effects of both price variations and variations in volume:

five years. The other two—"second chance to learn" and the proposal to provide places at the Northern College—have been offered urban programme support for one year, pending the outcome of urgent consultations between my Department, the Department of Education and Science and the city council about how the funding is to be provided beyond that.
