HC Deb 21 July 1994 vol 247 cc573-4W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Education how many secondary schools are operating courses on a franchise basis from further education colleges.

Mr. Boswell

It is for individual colleges to decide on the best way of delivering provision to respond to the needs of their local communities. Information about the extent that this may be done through franchise arrangements is not collected centrally.
