§ Mr. WillisTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will list for each LEA where EMAs have been introduced the amount of resources allocated for discretionary awards in each of year since 1997. [67470]
§ Margaret Hodge[holding answer 5 July 2002]: Prior to 1998–99, funding for discretionary support was made within the Education SSA. This is not broken down into specific funding lines and individual LEA allocations are therefore not available. In 1999, discretionary funding for young people post-16 in schools was transferred to the School Access Funds. The amount of School Access Funds made available to LEAs for discretionary support in the EMA pilot areas is set out in the table.
Separate allocations of Access Funds are also made available to colleges, including sixth form colleges. The amounts are listed in the Further Education Funding Council and Learning and Skills Council Circulars (FEFC Circulars 97/32, 98/29. 99/27.00/14. LSC Circular 01/08).
