further education colleges for the development of information technology services and training.

Mr. Boswell

None. Colleges have flexibility to use the funds available to them to invest in information technology as they think best.

Mr. Bryan Davies

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what training and advice material her Department has issued to governors of further education colleges.

Mr. Boswell

Governors themselves have a responsibility to ensure that they have the training to enable them to perform their functions accordingly. The Further Education Funding Council for England has published the "Guide for College Governors" to assist them in their work, and issued circulars of guidance to governors on a variety of matters. The Further Education Staff College offers courses for governors which can be tailored to colleges' particular needs.
