§ Mr. Fatchettasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how much of his Department's earmarked major capital expenditure has been (a) allocated to local education authorities and (b) spent in each of the polytechnics in each of the last 10 years.
Mr. JacksonIn making capital allocations to local education authorities under the Local Government Planning and Land Act 1980 my right hon. Friend has not used his power to earmark parts of allocations for projects of regional or national importance. Local education authorities have therefore been free to spend their allocations as they wished.
§ Mr. Fatchettasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how much capital expenditure, other than his department's allocated major capital, has been spent by local education authorities in each of the polytechnics in each of the past 10 years.
