Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many students aged 24 or over will have their funding delivered via a devolved budget in 2019-20.
The department is not yet able to set out the level of funding that will be devolved in 2019/20.
Devolution is dependent on agreement between the department and the Mayoral Combined Authorities (MCAs) to a number of readiness conditions. From 2019/20 the MCAs will be responsible to deliver the Adult Education Budget in their areas.
