HC Deb 08 July 1992 vol 211 cc267-8W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what rights a 16 or 17-year-old school leaver has to free tuition on a vocational course in a college of further education.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

[holding answer 3 July 1992]: The Convention of Scottish Local Authorities recommends fee levels for courses in further education colleges. No fees are charged for under-18s on full-time non-advanced courses. After 1 April 1993, when the colleges are incorporated, it will be a condition of funding that this policy shall continue for courses falling within the Secretary of State's duty for further edcuation.
