Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to HM Treasury's press release, Chancellor announces £4.5 billion of measures to bring down debt, published on 4 June 2015, what efficiency savings she plans to make to education for 16 to 19 year olds; and how such savings will be applied.

The savings announced by the Chancellor will come from a variety of measures including expected departmental underspends in demand-led budgets, efficiencies and some small budgetary reductions.

The allocations for the education of 16- to 19-year-olds in the 2015/16 academic year that were announced in March remain in place and we are not planning to change them.
