HC Deb 30 June 1992 vol 210 c454W
Mr. Fatchett

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list the transitional grants to be paid to further education and sixth form colleges by individual institution.

Mr. Forman

The allocation of transitional funds to colleges will be for the Further Education Funding Council, which is expected to be formed soon.

Mr. Fatchett

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list the percentage of the £25 million Further Education Funding Council transitional fund to be granted directly to further education and sixth form colleges.

Mr. Forman

Allocations direct to colleges are expected to account for about two thirds of the £25 million transitional funding to be made available to the Further Education Funding Council in 1992–93. The balance will be required to meet the running costs of the council and the costs of supporting colleges' preparations for incorporation on a national basis.
