Education: Barnet

Volume 457: debated on Monday 19 February 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what funding was made available to Barnet College in each of the last five years; and if he will make a statement. (118482)

I can confirm the funding allocations that Barnet College received from the Learning and Skills Council in each year from 2002-03 to 2006-07 are as listed in the following tables. For 2006-07 Barnet College is also a member of two successful consortiums which tendered for Train to Gain, our new national programme of workplace training for adults. The additional funding Barnet College will receive from these contracts is currently under negotiation. The total value of the Train to Gain contracts in which Barnet College has a stake are, for the consortium led by Four Counties Training £850,348, and for the consortium led by the College of North East London £284,148.
