Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much her Department has spent on horticultural training in each of the last five years.
It is not possible to give an estimate of how much funding the Department has spent on horticultural training, as the post-16 funding formula does not attribute funding to specific subjects. We fund institutions based on their whole programme content and student profile. Institutions then divide their funding between subjects as they see fit.
