§ Mr. Sternasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will take steps to enable schools wishing to organise initiatives in technical and vocational education to do so wholly or partly with funds not arising from the education authority.
§ Sir Keith JosephFunds are to be made available by the Manpower Services Commission to support pilot projects under the technical and vocational education initiative in the majority of local education authorities. and I have no present plans to make further additional resources available for this purpose. It is therefore For those local authorities and schools not involved in the pilot schemes to organise initiatives, if they so wish, using whatever sources of finance may be open to them.
