HC Deb 07 July 1987 vol 119 cc110-1W
53. Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what measures he will be taking to ensure that local education authorities receive adequate funding for reorganisation of tertiary education.

Mr. Dunn

Provided a reorganisation scheme has been approved in accordance with the provisions of section 12 of the Education Act 1980, my right hon. Friend will normally seek to ensure that the local education authority's prescribed capital expenditure allocations are set at a level reflecting the estimated cost of implementation.
