Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate his Department has made of the number of further education colleges that will be affected by the introduction of fees for Jisc's IT services as a result of changes to funding to that organisation.

All further education colleges in England currently have access to Jisc services. From August 2019, any college wishing to continue to use these services will need to subscribe. The Department for Education will continue to fund the majority of the costs associated with these services.
