Mr. Andrew Turner

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what proportion of education SSA was included in schools' delegated budgets in each local education authority in each year since 1999–2000, ranked by order of the most recent year. [63891]

Mr. Miliband

[holding answer 24 June 2002]The following table shows schools' delegated budgets as a proportion of education SSA. These percentages differ from the delegation percentages published annually by the Department. Those percentages are based on the Local Schools Budget (LSB), the coverage of which differs significantly from the coverage of the Education SSA: in particular, the LSB includes expenditure financed by the Standards Fund and other specific grants, but excludes expenditure on non-school education. The percentages shown below will reflect LEAs' spending levels relative to their SSAs as well as their propensity to delegate within the LSB, and will also be affected, year to year, by changes in the scope of the SSA.
