HC Deb 28 April 1988 vol 132 c265W
12. Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what funding assistance other than capital moneys, his Department intends to target towards integrated maintained schools; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Mawhinney

The Government's present proposal to facilitate the establishment of grant-maintained integrated schools includes 100 per cent. funding direct from the Department of Education for Northern Ireland. Recurrent grants would include special purpose grants to take account of special needs arising in particular circumstances.
