HC Deb 20 June 2000 vol 352 cc178-82W
Mr. Willis

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will list by LEA in England the amount each local authority spent on education above its education SSA for each of the past five years. [126906]

Ms Estelle Morris

The following table shows by LEA the amount in £ million by which each authority budgeted above or below its education SSA for the years 1995–96 to 1999–2000. Budget figures are taken from Local Authority Revenue Account (RA) returns, and include a centrally calculated estimate of the amount of education related capital expenditure from the revenue account (CERA). Figures for 2000–01 are not yet available: in this and future years, budget data which are more precisely comparable to education SSA will be available from the section 52 returns submitted by local education authorities, including their own estimate of CERA.
