§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Education and Science (Baroness Hooper)My right honourable friend the Secretary of State is currently holding discussions with representatives of the inner London boroughs about their intentions for education provision in their areas including adult education. This area of provision will also be taken into account in the guidance to be issued by the department, and in the development plans of each borough.
