HC Deb 25 January 1993 vol 217 cc544-5W
Mr. Pickthall

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list the bids for capital expenditure for education from shire counties in 1993–94 and 1992–93 and the annual capital guideline notified by the Department for Education for 1993–94 and 1992–93.

Mr. Forth

The figures in the table represent the bids and annual capital guidelines—ACGs—for county and voluntary controlled schools in 1992–93 and 1993–94. They do not include capital work at sixth form, tertiary and further education colleges, the responsibility for which will transfer on 1 April 1993 to the Further Education Funding Council, or capital work at voluntary-aided schools.

The allocation figures also exclude resources issued during the current year by means of supplementary credit approvals—SCAs. No SCAs have yet been issued for 1993–94.
