WORKERS' EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION: GRANT CUT (Hansard, 14 January 1985)

HL Deb 14 January 1985 vol 458 c864WA 864WA

§ Lord Brockway
asked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will reconsider the decision to make a 9 per cent. cut in grant from the Department of Education and Science to the Workers' Educational Association.

§ The Earl of Swinton
No. The levels of the Department of Education and Science grants for the 15 Workers' Educational Association districts were established nationally following a review at the end of 1983 when phased reductions were announced in the planned aggregate total of grants amounting to 8.3 per cent. over the three-year period 1983–84 to 1986–87.
