§ Mr. HumeTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make it his policy to ensure that voluntary grammar schools are in future funded on an equitable per capita basis; what criteria he has used in the past for such funding; and if he will take steps to provide additional funds to those schools which have received less than the per capita norm in past years.
§ Dr. Mawhinney[holding answer 7 February 1989]: In the past, voluntary grammar schools funding has been mainly based on historic patterns of expenditure but in recent years resources have been skewed in favour of the relatively low-spending schools. This reallocation of funds will continue until the introduction, as part of the education reform measures, of a formula-based funding arrangement for all secondary schools (including voluntary grammar schools). While being related to pupil numbers, formula-based funding will also have regard to other factors.
