HC Deb 21 May 2004 vol 421 cc1232-9W
Mr. Hoyle

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much public money was spent on education in Chorley in each year between 1992 and 1997. [164183]

Mr. Miliband

The information requested is submitted according to local education authority areas rather than districts within an area. Chorley is a district of Lancashire Local Education Authority. The information for Lancashire LEA is as follows:

£000
Total net current expenditure
1992–93 649,469
1993–94 594,252
1994–95 596,785
1995–96 583,921
1996–97 590,313
1997–98 600,316

Notes:

1. The financial data are taken from Lancashire LEA's RO1 statement submitted to the Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions.

2. Net current expenditure (NCE) includes expenditure within schools and also that incurred centrally by the LEA.

3. In 1992–93 Net Current Expenditure after recharges was not collected on RO1. In this year Net Recurrent Expenditure is used and consequently figures for this year may not be strictly comparable with those for future years.

4. Figures are for Lancashire LEA prior to the local government reorganisation in 1998–99.

1996–97 n/a n/a 1,800 2,605 12,959

2001–02 21,017 2,551 2,747 3,381 16,007
2002–03 2,793 3,690

Notes:

1. The financial data are taken from Rochdale LEA's Section 52 Outturn Statement submitted to the DfES from 1999–2000 onwards and the ODPM's RO1 statement previously. Expenditure was not distinguished between pre-primary and primary sectors until the inception of the Section 52 outturn statement in 1999–2000. 1999–2000 figures reflect the return of GM schools to local authority maintenance.

2. The outturn 2002–03 tables captured the data in a fundamentally different way to the previous years. Categories were aligned with the Consistent Financial Reporting framework and the spending by LEAs was no longer split by school sector. Consequently the unit costs per pupil in 2002–03 are not strictly comparable with earlier years as they include an apportionment of LEA expenditure based on pupil numbers. 2002–03 data is subject to change by the LEA. Figures are rounded to the nearest £10.

3. Net current expenditure (NCE) includes expenditure within schools and also that incurred centrally by the LEA.

4. The NCE per pupil figures for pre-primary and primary relate the net current expenditure (after recharges) in the pre-primary sector and maintained primary schools to the total number of financial year pupils who are educated in the maintained nursery and primary schools sector.

5. The NCE per pupil figures for secondary relate the net current expenditure (after recharges) in maintained secondary schools to the total number of financial year pupils who are educated in the maintained secondary schools sector.

6. The NCE per pupil figures for special schools relate the net current expenditure (after recharges) in maintained special schools to the total number of financial year pupils who are educated in the maintained special schools sector.

7. Pupil data are drawn from the Annual Schools Census adjusted to be on a financial year basis.
