§ Mr. Nicholas BennettTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will give details of the(a) bids and (b) allocations for capital expenditure in respect of school building for each Welsh local education authority since 1974.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsThe information is not available in the form requested. Capital allocations to local education authorities are formula rather than bid-based.
Capital allocations since 1984–85 are unhypothecated between services. The public expendidure provisions for education capital at an all-Wales level for those years are shown in the table. Figures for previous years were not produced on a comparable basis.
