HC Deb 25 July 2000 vol 354 cc564-5W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how much section 11 funding has been allocated to each of the London borough councils in the current financial year. [132074]

Jacqui Smith

The education element of the Home Office's Section 11 Grant scheme ceased on 31 March 1999. It was replaced by a new grant, the Ethnic Minority Achievement Grant, administered by my Department. For 2000–01 £162.5 million will be available nationally to improve the attainment of ethnic minority, Traveller and refugee pupils. This represents an increase of 7 per cent. on the amount available for the same purposes in 1999–2000. The details requested are set out in the table. They include, separately, allocations under the Adult Ethnic Minority Achievement Grant which was also previously funded under Section 11.
