§ Mr. CoxTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how much money has been allocated to each London borough education authority in 1997–98 for the repair and modernisation of school buildings. [31658]
§ Mr. ByersThe table sets out the amount of credit cover and New Deal for Schools (NDS) grant we have allocated to each London borough education authority in 1997–98 to support capital expenditure at local education authority (LEA) maintained schools. NDS grant for 1997–98 was provided for the improvement, renovation or replacement of buildings used for educational purposes and the provision of equipment (including information technology) for educational purposes. This included support to develop a number of local public-private partnerships which we expect will result in substantial additional spending on capital. Credit approvals may be applied to capital spending of all kinds, as may other resources that LEAs have available to them, such as receipts and revenue. We do not collect information centrally about how much LEAs spend on the repair and modernisation of school buildings.
