§ Mr. BentonTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills (1) how much public funding has been spent on repairing schools in Bootle in each year since 1997; [172678]
(2) how much funding each school in Bootle has received from the New Deal for Schools. [172680]
§ Mr. MilibandThe majority of capital support is allocated to schools and local education authorities (LEAs) 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 A sets out the capital support given by the Government to Sefton LEA since 1997–98, in total and by programme, including devolved formula capital grants to each school. Table B shows the schools in the Bootle constituency that benefited from investment through the New Deal for Schools (NDS) programme, which ran between 1997–98 and 2000–01.
