Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what discussions she has had with education providers in (a) Lambeth and (b) Southwark on FE area reviews.
My Rt Hon Friend the Secretary of State has not had specific discussions about area reviews with education providers in Lambeth and Southwark.
Officials of the two lead departments are in regular contact with post-16 providers; and a wide range of such providers are also represented on the national advisory group for the programme.
