HC Deb 14 March 2002 vol 381 cc1215-6W
30. Mr. Gray

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will extend the area cost adjustment element of the education SSA to Wiltshire. [40752]

Mr. Timms

We are currently working up proposals for a reformed system of school and LEA funding for introduction in 2003–04. We are taking a fresh and objective look at what provision is needed for area costs in education and have no presumptions that current funding in any particular area is too high or indeed too low. We expect to consult on proposals for the new system in the summer, after the spending review is complete.
