§ Mr. Maxwell-HyslopTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science for each of the years 1988–89, 1989–90 and 1990–91, what was the total sum allocated by his Department to English local education authorities and to Devon county council, respectively.
§ Mr. Alan HowarthI assume that my hon. Friend is referring to capital allocations. The sums allocated in 1988–89 and 1989–90 and the amounts available in annual capital guidelines for 1990–91 are set out in the table. Allocations and annual capital guidelines are not directly comparable. The total for England in 1988–89 includes additional capital allocations which were mainly targeted at inner city areas. Each local education authority's annual capital guideline reflects the extent to which its plans for spending on schools and colleges matched the national priorities of providing new places in areas of population growth, cost-effective schemes for the removal of surplus places, continuing to remedy deficiencies in existing school buildings and new major building projects at colleges. In each of these years Devon's allocation as a percentage of its plans was above the national average.
