Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Barry Sheerman (Labour and Co-operative Party), on Monday, 9 March 2015, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 63 members in total.


FUNDING OF FURTHER EDUCATION COLLEGES

That this House believes that further education colleges are central to improving the nation's skills; shares the concerns of those working and studying in further education regarding the recently announced 24 per cent cuts to non-apprenticeship adult education funding in England; recognises that this will have a devastating effect on the sector and will shut the door on those sections of the community that rely on adult education the most; and therefore urges the Government to rethink this spending reduction which could threaten the future prospects of hundreds of thousands of people across the country.
