tabling member printed	Caroline Lucas
uin	106098
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2017 answer text <p>Budgets for 16 to 19-year-old education are set on the basis of the established funding formula which uses student number estimates. As in 2014-15 and 2015-16, student numbers and associated costs were lower than these estimates in 2016-17 which resulted in a lower spend of £106m. This represents 1.8% of the budget that was available for reallocation. Because this was a result of lower student numbers, it did not affect funding per student.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 16/10/2017 09:28:25 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
