Note:
<1> As from 1/4/93 sixth form colleges became part of the Further Education sector, and the 1994 figures therefore exclude teachers in
these colleges. The second 1993 figure also excludes these teachers to allow comparison with 1994.
Schools (Wheelchairs)
Mr. Steinberg: To ask the Secretary of State for Education which local education authorities have provided her with information on access to schools for pupils in wheelchairs under the Education (Information as to Provision of Education) Regulations 1994.
Mr. Forth: The regulations require local education authorities to provide information on the accessibility of schools to pupils in wheelchairs to the Secretary of State after 1 May and by 1 June 1995, and every second year thereafter. Information on school's access required under these regulations has, accordingly, not yet been received.
Further Education Funding Council
