This field records the implied rate of Learning and Skills Council (LSC) partial funding.

All students at institutions in England where Instance.FESTUMK = 1,3 or 4 and where Course.MSFUND = 86, 87, 88, AA, AB, AC or AD and Instance.REDUCEDI = 00

The implied rate of LSC FE funding must be entered in this field for ESF funded provision that is not LSC ESF co-financed. The implied rate of LSC FE funding is the inverse of the ESF intervention rate, that is:

Implied rate of LSC FE funding = 100 - ESF intervention rate

For example if the ESF intervention rate is 45% the implied rate of LSC FE funding is 55%. The valid entry would be 055.

Where no ESF funding is indicated, this field should return 000.

The length of this field is 3 characters, however the move to XML enables data to be returned with or without leading zeros, e.g. 003 or 3.
