HC Deb 11 January 1993 vol 216 c572W
Mr. Kevin Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will introduce a grant designed to meet the educational needs of the ethnic minority population of all ages similar to the previous section 11 funding.

Mr. Forth

The assumption that Home Office section 11 grant is to cease is incorrect. Section 11 grant will continue to support existing projects in 1993–94 at the current grant rate of 75 per cent. Thereafter, on current planning assumptions, grant will be available to support the same volume of posts albeit at a reduced rate.
