HC Deb 24 January 2001 vol 361 cc583-6W
Mrs. May

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment (1) if he will set out the basis on which the sums being held back from local education authorities funding in relation to adult education in 2001–02 have been calculated; [145226]

(2) if he will set out for each local education authority their spending on adult education this year and the sum being top-sliced from their funding for adult education in 2001–02. [145227]

Mr. Wicks

[holding answer 15 January 2001]No sums are being held back or top sliced from local education authorities' funding. For 2001–02 the Government are allocating up to £142 million to local education authorities, via the Learning and Skills Council, for Adult and Community Learning—an increase of 5.7 per cent. on what authorities are spending in 2000–01. To help pay for this, £127 million was removed at national level from Education Standard Spending for 2000–01, before the addition of over £1 billion for 2001–02.

The following table sets out, for each local education authority, their estimated spending on adult education in 2000–01, and the maximum provisional allocation they would receive for this activity in 2001–02 from the Learning and Skills Council, as notified to LEAs on 29 November 2000.

Final figures for the maximum allocations from the Learning and Skills Council are under discussion between my Department and a number of authorities.
