§ Mr. ChaytorTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what estimate he has received from the Further Education Funding Council of the likely number and category of job losses in the further education sector during 1998–99. [40762]
§ Dr. HowellsThe Further Education Funding Council does not collect information from further education colleges on the number of staff they intend to employ in future years. It would not therefore be possible for the Council to estimate in advance staffing changes in the further education sector during 1998–99.
