Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the HM Treasury press release, Chancellor announces £4.5 billion of measures to bring down public debt, published on 4 June 2015, what plans she has for funding for education and training for 16 to 19 year olds during the 2015-16 academic year.

The savings announced by the Chancellor will come from a variety of measures including expected departmental underspends in demand-led budgets, efficiencies and some small budgetary reductions.
