Abstract	There are things in the skills White Paper that those who care passionately about lifelong learning and the empowerment of adult learners will welcome. But as well as admiring the angels in the architecture, the author contends, they need to look for the devils in the detail. The White Paper cannot be considered apart from the spending review settlement which preceded it and the demands made by the 25 per cent cut in the overall budget for the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. Lifelong learning's situation cannot be divorced from the circumstances in which further education institutions now find themselves. The government's cut of 25 per cent in their basic resource grant could put a number of them under severe financial pressure, limiting the range of courses and, in some cases, places for adult learners.
