Mr. Boswell

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills when she will bring forward proposals for a replacement scheme for individual learning accounts. [76546]

Mr. Ivan Lewis

In June 2003 following the completion of our review of funding of adult learning and as an integral part of our groundbreaking national Skills Strategy and delivery plan.

In view of this decision we have agreed with Capita that our joint work with them on the development of a successor scheme is now complete. We are grateful for the partnership approach that Capita have adopted to the wind down of the ILA scheme and the development of a successor scheme.
