HC Deb 23 June 2003 vol 407 c550W
Paul Holmes

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills when the Further Education Funding Council published its final accounts; from where copies can be obtained; and if he will make a statement. [120016]

Alan Johnson

The Further Education Funding Council's accounts for 2000–01, its final year of operation, were laid before Parliament on 24 July 2002 and published by the Stationery Office on 10 April 2003. Copies are available from the Stationery Office.

The delay in finalising the FEFC's accounts was due to the complexities of winding up a large NDPB and arranging for the redeployment of the organisation's assets.
