HC Deb 18 May 2004 vol 421 cc924-5W
Mr. Ben Chapman

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills (1) how much funding each school in Wirral, South has received from the New Deal for Schools; [173628]

(2) how much public funding has been spent on repairing schools in Wirral, South in each year since 1997. [173626]

Mr. Miliband

Table A shows the schools in the Wirral, South constituency which benefited from investment through the New Deal for Schools programme, which ran between 1997–98 and 2000–01.

The majority of capital support is now 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; this should be held at local authority level.

Table B sets out the capital support provided by the to the Wirral local education authority and its schools since 1997–98, in total and by programme (including all allocations through NDS listed in table A).
