Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, if he will publish all forecasts held by his Department of the annual budget to be allocated to Unionlearn.

The Skills Funding Statement published annually, sets out the funding priorities and available budget to support the further education (FE) and skills sector.

Annual budgets allocated to individual programmes from the FE and skills budget, including Unionlearn is not published separately.

As FE and skills budgets for future years have not been agreed, no annual budget has been forecast for unionlearn.
