Mr. Gareth R. ThomasTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what action she is taking to equalise the per capita funding for post-16 provision in colleges with school sixth forms. [34502]
§ Mr. Ivan LewisThe Government are firmly committed to bringing up the level of funding for colleges towards that of school sixth forms. As we have repeatedly made clear, this will take time and must be done as resources allow. We are considering this issue as part of the current spending review.
