§ Mr. Freudasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will list the amounts paid to each local education authority in respect of the no area pooling system in each year since 1980 and the total cost of the system in each of these years.
§ Mr. Dunn[pursuant to his reply, 17 January 1985, c. 227]: Pooling is not a grant which is paid to local education authorities. It is a system of inter-authority payments which, as a matter of administrative convenience, is carried out by the Government through adjustments to authorities' block grant. It in no way affects the total of Government grant paid.
The provisional claims on the no area pool on which the adjustments for each year since 1980 have been made are given in the following table. The final adjustment in respect of each year will eventually be made on the basis of certified claims.
