§ Mr. BlunkettTo ask the Secretary of State for Education what plans she has to place the funding of the youth service on a statutory footing.
§ Mr. BoswellNo further legislation is planned. In the case of the youth service, local authorities have a need to decide, within the resources available to them, the appropriate level of provision in order to fulfil their duties deriving from sections 41 and 53 of the Education Act 1994. The Government do not determine this cenally.
