§ Mr. Alex CarlileTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what provision is made within the local management of schools system for the cost of repair of damage by vandalism; whether these costs are included within the total budget set for each school or in addition; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsLocal education authorities may include as part of their local management of schools budget formula a "location factor" which can reflect the incidence of vandalism in particular schools. It is also open to them to draw on their contingency reserves for major costs which a school could not reasonably be expected to meet.
