Danny Kinahan – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Danny Kinahan on 2016-02-19.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much her Department has spent on horticultural training in each of the last five years.

Nick Boles

It is not possible to give an estimate of how much funding the Department has spent on horticultural training, as the post-16 funding formula does not attribute funding to specific subjects. We fund institutions based on their whole programme content and student profile. Institutions then divide their funding between subjects as they see fit.
