Question to the Department for Education:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they plan to seek compensation from Learndirect Ltd for (1) breach of contract, or (2) misuse of public funds.
Learndirect Ltd have a wind-down clause within their contract for the Adult Education Budget, which will be terminated in July 2018. Routine audit work will be carried out in Learndirect Ltd during this period as part of the assurance work carried out by the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA). If this identifies errors in funding claims or breaches of funding regulations, the ESFA will seek an appropriate recovery.
