Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate his Department has made of the level of funding for each pupil aged 16 to 18 years old in each academic year until 2020.

We confirm final funding rates for 16-19 year olds in the spring before the start of each academic year. We confirmed rates for academic year 2014/15 in March 2014. We will confirm rates for 2015/16 in March 2015. Budgets beyond 2015/16 will not be agreed until after the Government's next spending review.
