HC Deb 02 November 1993 vol 231 c145W
15. Ms Lynne

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what assessment he has made of the effects of cuts in section 11 funding on the educational opportunities of ethnic groups.

Mr. Robin Squire

Provision for the education of pupils from ethnic groups is primarily a matter for schools and local education authorities. There have been no cuts this year in section 11 funding. The Department will monitor the effects of the reduction in the rate of support for future years through the Office for Standards in Education.
