APPENDIX 1:

(Incorporated in Hansard on 24 August 1993 at page 2572)

TREASURER FOR THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL CAPITAL TERRITORY

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION WITHOUT NOTICE TAKEN ON NOTICE

19 AUGUST 1993

MS FOLLETT: On 19 August 1993 Mr Cornwell asked me a question regarding the effect of the Federal Governments budget reduction on the adult literacy programs, particularly for the Canberra Institute of Technologyand I undertook to provide him with an answer.

MY ANSWER IS: Your question indicated that the Commonwealth has decreased expenditure on adult literacy by $5m in 1993-94. It has been difficult to reconcile your figures with specific announcements made by the Commonwealth on Budget night.

Advice from the Commonwealth is that funding on a national basis for adult literacy programs is being maintained at 1992-93 levels.

In respect of the ACT, the 1992 Resource Agreement with the Commonwealth provides the Canberra Institute of Technology with $0.322m for adult literacy programs. The 1993 Resource Agreement increased this allocation by 17%, to $0.376m.
