Business question from Lord Swire (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 February 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
May we have an urgent statement on the financial fiasco surrounding the Learning and Skills Council before it is wound up and replaced next month by the Skills Funding Agency? It is of great concern throughout the House—not least to the Leader of the House's Cabinet colleague, the right hon. Member for Exeter (Mr. Bradshaw), and to me—that there is to be the first "hard" federation between Exeter college and Bicton college in my constituency. The LSC has been told that it will have to borrow £3 million and make a loan of £1 million, and it will withdraw its support for Bicton by the end of March unless that happens. May we have an urgent statement to clarify what is going on?
