§ Mr. KaufmanTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills (1) how much funding each school in Manchester, Gorton has received from the New Deal for Schools; [167445]
(2) how much public funding has been spent on repairing schools in Manchester Gorton in each year since 1997. [167454]
§ Mr. MilibandTable A shows the schools in the Manchester Gorton constituency that benefited from investment through the New Deal for Schools (NDS) programme, which ran between 1997–98 and 2000–01.
Since 2001 the majority of capital support has been allocated to schools and local education authorities by formula, and they decide how to invest it in line with their asset management plans. The Department does not, therefore, have complete information about capital investment at constituency level. Table B sets out the capital support made by the Department to Manchester Local Education Authority since 1997–98, in total and by programme (including all allocations through NDS mentioned in table A)
