HC Deb 24 November 1987 vol 123 cc111-2W
Dr. Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales (1) what was the capital allocation for expenditure on schools in 1987–88 made by his Department to each local education authority in Wales;

(2) what was the bid made by each Welsh local education authority to his Department for a capital allocation for expenditure on schools for 1987–88.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

Under the system introduced in 1985–86, local authorities receive a formula-based capital allocation covering most of their services, including education. They no longer make bids for these services, nor are individual service elements of the allocation identifiable.
