16. Mr. Heald

To ask the Secretary of State for Education how much central Government support for capital spending in schools has changed in real terms between 1986–87 and 1993–94.

Mr. Robin Squire

Between 1986–87 and 1993–94, there was a 57 per cent. real terms increase in central Government capital support for schools. That covers spending on local authority and voluntary schools and, since 1989, grant-maintained schools.
