HC Deb 11 May 1993 vol 224 c406W
Mr. Jim Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what proposals he has to provide additional resources for schools to enable them to provide for disruptive pupils who may otherwise be expelled.

Mr. Forth

Under the "Reducing Truancy" category of the Government's grants for education support and training scheme for 1993–1994, local education authorities could bid for support to enhance the provision made for their most difficult pupils. A number of the approved projects include such a component.
