§ Mr. RowlandsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales, pursuant to his oral answer of 1 February,Official Report, column 10, what is the estimated amount in the reduction of basic credit approvals (a) to Mid-Glamorgan and (b) to Welsh counties arising from the transfer of further education institutions.
§ Mr. David HuntLocal authority credit approvals have been reduced in total by £8.915 million in 1993–94 compared with the level which would otherwise have been set to take account of the transfer of further education institutions. A deduction was not made as such for each individual county. Basic credit approvals are allocated according to a formula agreed with the local authority associations.
