§ Mr. Miliband[holding answer 12 December 2002]The information requested on school spending is not yet available as the Department is in the process of collecting the data for 2001–02. I will write to the hon. Member when the information becomes available. The Department is not due to collect data for 2002–03 until September 2003, and for 2003–04 in September 2004. The majority of government support for spending on schools takes the form of unhypothecated revenue support grant, so it is not possible to give totals for government support.
