WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE EDUCATION, SPORT AND CULTURE COMMITTEE BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 24th MAY 2005
Question
The President in his answer to my question on 10th May 2005, regarding the £1.3 million post-19 funding proposal, stated that the proposals.......have not yet been considered or accepted by Committees' and it would be inappropriate for me to comment'.
Would the President inform members –
- whether the Committee released this figure and, if not, whether he is aware who did, under what circumstances, and for what purpose? and,
- whether there isanyunder-funding in 2006 for the provision ofpost-16education at Highlands, and, ifso, what measures, if any, does the Committee propose inorder to address this?
Answer
- The figures were not released by the Committee butby the Treasuryas part of its open and transparent resource allocation process. All Statesmembers were invited to attend the Presidents' discussions onthe 2006 – 2008 resource allocation process and, therefore, it wasconsidered to be in the public interest to release the information providedat that meeting.
- As I stated inmyanswerto the Deputy 's previous question – the Committee has not yet discussed its proposed 2006 – 2008 cash limits, nor the allocation of its 2006 budget, and until such time it would be inappropriate for me to comment on how the proposed net changes in funding for 2006 – 2008 will be allocated to meet the Committee's priorities for Education, Sport and Culture' whichincludesHighlands College.
