HC Deb 06 May 1980 vol 984 cc12-3W
18. Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what estimate is available of the global capped pool for advanced further education in 1981–82; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mark Carlisle

The Government's expenditure plans assume a small reduction in expenditure on home students in higher education and account will be taken of this in the size of the advanced further education pool for 1981–82. I shall be consulting the local authority associations before determining the exact sum later in the year.
