HC Deb 23 March 1994 vol 240 cc312-3W
Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish guidelines for the development of further education in Wales; and if he will make a statement.

Sir Wyn Roberts

Friend the then Secretary of State for Wales wrote to the chairman of the Further Education Funding Council for Wales on 27 May 1992 to provide broad guidance on the functions of the council—on Government policies which are relevant to the exercise of those functions and on particular matters to which the council should have regard. That guidance has been supplemented by further indications of the Government's policies for the further education sector in the annual letter sent to the council notifying it of expenditure provision for the following financial year. Copies of the letters have been placed in the Library of the House.
