HC Deb 19 June 2000 vol 352 c46W
Mr. Hilary Benn

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will publish the Treasury rules on economic appraisal of projects as they apply to the Further Education Funding Council's capital programme. [126049]

Mr. Wicks

The Further Education Funding Council (FEFC) assesses applications for capital support for projects submitted by further education colleges against a range of criteria based on the Treasury's guide for Government departments. The Guide is called "Appraisal and Evaluation in Central Government Departments—A Treasury Guide" and is a published document available from the HMSO.
