Ms Estelle Morris

The following table sets out by local education authority the allocations of revenue funding for additional teachers and capital funding for new classrooms made for 1998–99 and 1999–2000. In total, we have made available £620 million to ensure that our pledge is delivered in full by September 2001 and in virtually all schools by September 2000.
