MR WOOD - The answer to Mrs Nolans question is:
(1) The Government will continue to fund all registered non-government schools at 50 percent of the Commonwealth rate. In accordance with this policy, the Chief Minister announced in her 1991-92 ACT Budget speech that the level of grants to three nongovernment schools will be reduced. This is as a result of the Governments decision to cease from January 1992 the "cushioning" grants which it currently provides to Category 1 and Category 3 nongovernment schools.
