§ Mr. BlunkettTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if she will estimate the cost of providing 100 per cent. capital cost to voluntary-aided schools. [40151]
§ Mrs. GillanThe central Government grant for approved governors' expenditure at voluntary-aided schools is at present paid at a rate of up to 85 per cent. If all work supported by grant in 1995–96 were to be funded at a rate of 100 per cent. the additional cost would be in excess of £17 million.
