HC Deb 18 April 1990 vol 170 cc848-9W
Mr. Madden

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will take steps to make extra funds immediately available to Bradford community college to obviate reductions in the numbers of students enrolled at the college and redundancies of teaching staff; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Jackson

Bradford's education component of its standard spending assessment (SSA) for 1990–91 is £179.7 million. Decisions about service budgets and the allocation of resources are a matter for the authority.
