Further Education: Hampshire

Chris Huhne
To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills how many further education colleges in Hampshire have delayed building projects because of problems with funding from the Learning and Skills Council; and what the estimated cost of each of these projects is.

Kevin Brennan
Capital funding for Further Education colleges is administered by the Learning and Skills Council (LSC). As the information requested is with regard to an operational matter for the Council, I have asked Geoffrey Russell, the acting LSC Chief Executive, to write to the hon. Member with the further information requested.

A copy of his letter will be placed in the House Libraries.
