§ Mr. JamiesonTo ask the Secretary of State for Education (1) whether the Funding Agency for Schools will continue to share responsibility with local education authorities in those areas where over 10 per cent. of schools have opted out but where local government reorganisation reduces the numbers of opted-out schools to below 10 per cent;
(2) whether the Funding Agency for Schools will continue to have responsibility for the provision of school places in local authority areas where over 75 per cent. of schools have currently opted out but where local government reorganisation reduces the number of opted-out schools to below 75 per cent.
§ Mr. Robin SquireMy right hon. Friend would need to consider this matter in the light of the individual circumstances applying in any new LEA areas.
