HC Deb 27 October 1981 vol 10 c332W
22. Mr. Kenneth Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he has made a decision on the future financing of further education.

Sir Keith Joseph:

Not about permanent arrangements. But I have put proposals to the local authorities for ad hoc machinery which should improve decisions about the pattern of provision and the financing of advanced further education. I am glad to say that they have welcomed this approach and are collaborating with me to get work started.
