This question was answered on 6th July 2015
Across all our grant, loan and capital support for adult further education, we are making available over £3bn in 2015-16. Our funding mechanism is designed to allow providers the freedoms and flexibilities to decide how best to use their allocation to respond to local learner and employer demand and it would be for individual colleges to determine what provision to offer based on this demand.
