In addition, the total amount of investment in skills through the European Social Fund (ESF) is between £250 and £300 million per annum. Plans are being made to determine what provision should be delivered as a replacement for ESF.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 20/11/2018 10:18:39 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
