§ Dr. Lynne JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Education what has been the total capital allocation for education to Birmingham local education authority since 1984–85; what has been the actual capital expenditure on education in Birmingham in the same period; and what information she has on the cost of dealing with the backlog in repairs and renovations in Birmingham's schools.
§ Mr. Robin SquireThe total capital allocation for education and actual capital expenditure on education in Birmingham has been as follows:

1All totals given relate to the announced annual allocations only, and therefore exclude any supplementary funding, either in the form of supplementary credit approvals (post-1990), or prescribed additional funding (pre-1990).
2 Figures up to and including 1989–90 represent annual notional capital allocations. The figures prior to 1993–94 also include an element of further education and sixth-form college funding.
3 The Local Government and Housing Act 1989 introduced annual capital guidelines as a means of allocating borrowing power to local education authorities. This took effect from 1 April 1990.
4 The establishment of the Further Education Funding Council in 1993 resulted in the separate determination of funding for further education and sixth-form colleges. ACG figures from 1993–94 therefore exclude this area of funding.
5 Figures for voluntary aided education are as originally announced. They exclude any later allocations made in the year as a result of, for example, the approval of statutory proposals.
6 Figures are derived from capital outturn returns submitted by LEAs to the Department of the Environment. Capital expenditure represents gross outturn on all areas of education, including the urban programme.
7 Department of Environment data not available.
8 1993–94 figure provisional only.
9 Figures relate to financial years. As 1994–95 FY is not yet complete, figures are not available after 1993–94.
Expenditure on repairs and renovations is a matter for the LEA.
