The Government is to consult on the legal basis of further education provision, says Mark Carlisle, Secretary of State for Education & Science. He set up last Autumn, jointly with the local authority associations, a working group to review the law as it relates to further education, to consider the need for changes, and to suggest what changes might be made. The group have now completed their report and submitted it to Ministers and the local authority associations. Comments thereon are now sought by 30 October.
