16. Ms. Quin

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations he has received about the 1990–91 standard spending assessments for education.

Mr. MacGregor

Since the announcement of the local authority settlement by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment on 11 January, my Department has received direct representations about standard spending assessments for education from a small number of local education authorities.

92. Mr. John Garrett

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he has any plans to discuss the 1990–91 standard spending assessments for education with the Association of County Councils.

Mrs. Rumbold

My right hon. Friend has no plans to meet the Association of County Councils to discuss the 1990–91 standard spending assessments for education.

72. Mr. Lewis

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on the standard spending assessments for education in 1990–91.

Mrs. Rumbold

The standard spending assessments for education will replace the education grant-related expenditure assessments on 1 April 1990 as the education component of the assessment by which revenue support grant is distributed. The methodology for determining education standard spending assessments was decided after extensive consultation with the local authority associations.
