Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, if his Department will take steps to ensure that courses are not cut at Bradford College owing to reductions in its budget.
Adult Skills Budget allocations are given to colleges, which then have the freedom and flexibilities to decide what provision to offer according to local demand from employers and learners. It would be for Bradford College to determine what courses to offer and at what level.
Bradford College’s Total Adult Skills Budget for 2015-16 will be £ 9,481,925. In 2014-15 it was £10,225,903.
