§ 77. Mr. Sackvilleasked the Paymaster General what extra resources have been made available to improve the quality of work-related non-advanced further education.
§ Mr. TrippierIt is for local authorities to decide what resources are directed to work-related NAFE within the overall resources available to them. However, the Government's expenditure plans for 1986–87 should enable authorities generally to respond to the growing demand for NAFE provision of all kinds. Provided authorities contain costs and take advantage of the scope for efficiency savings they should be able to redeploy resources to improve the quality of the service. The transfer of a proportion of funds to MSC for work-related NAFE (£110 million in 1986–87) is designed to help ensure that work-related provision is provided cost effectively and in response to labour market needs.
