HC Deb 08 March 1995 vol 256 cc213-6W
Mr. Steinberg

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if she will list the full bids for grants for education support and training for the 1995 assessment and testing arrangements for each local education authority.

Mr. Forth

The grants for education support and training allocations for the implementation of national curriculum assessment arrangements, which totalled £23.3 million in 1995–96, were distributed among local education authorities according to a formula, rather than requiring bids from LEAs.

However, 34 of the 109 LEAs did indicate the level of support they were seeking. This information is shown in the table
