Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what the budget for the funding of adult skills in (a) the South East and (b) Eastbourne constituency is for (i) 2014-15 and (ii) 2015-16.

The Skills Funding Agency does not allocate funding to specific geographical areas. The Agency allocates funding to colleges and training providers, some of whom operate on very local geographic footprints, whilst others provide training and skills services to learners and employers across the country.

Colleges have all now received their allocations for 2015/16 and they will be in the public domain during June 2015.

Allocations for all providers in 2014/15, including those in the South East and Eastbourne areas, can be found at:
