§ Mr. GroganTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills when the Learning and Skills Council will announce its revised sixth form funding allocations for 2002–03. [41943]
§ Mr. Ivan LewisThe Learning and Skills Council is announcing its revised sixth form funding allocations for 2002–03 today. For LEAs with allocations which have been increased compared with those announced previously, LSC grant will be increased commensurately. For LEAs with reduced allocations, LSC grant will be reduced but the Department will pay post-16 budget support grant equal to the reduction, so that no LEA will lose money.
