Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, how much of the Adult Skills Budget is spent in each local authority area.

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. College and training providers are required to work with Local Enterprise Partnerships and local stakeholders to ensure that what they deliver locally is responding to local needs.
