HC Deb 18 May 2004 vol 421 cc920-2W
Mr. Wareing

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills (1) how many(a) new local authority schools and (b) school extensions and modernisations in Liverpool have been sanctioned by his Department since 1997; and at what cost; [173664]

(2) what the total amount of financial aid provided to Liverpool City Council by his Department in terms of grants and the funding of capital projects was in each year since 1997. [173661]

Mr. Miliband

We do not hold information on details of investment in school buildings. The majority of capital funding is now allocated to local authorities and schools by needs-related formulae. Investment decisions are made locally in line with priorities agreed in the authority's asset management plan. Information on details of investment may be held locally. The following table shows capital allocations in total and by programme given by the Government to Liverpool local education authority since 1997–98.
