HC Deb 11 July 1989 vol 156 cc434-5W
Mr. Win Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will detail all the submissions from each local education authority for funding of national priority areas under the training grants scheme and the amount of funding allocated for each submission.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The total expenditure to be supported under the local education authority training grants scheme is determined each year by my right hon. Friend. Expenditure under the scheme is divided between national priorities, as specified by my right hon. Friend, and local priorities which are determined by the authorities themselves. Eligible expenditure on training in Wales in 1989–90 will total £13.18 million, of which £5.58 million is expenditure on national priorities and £7.6 million on local priorities. Authorities are free to spend more on in-service teacher training than the amounts specified as eligible for specific grant under the scheme. Allocations are in the main calculated pro rata to the authorities' student population. The allocation of expenditure to each authority for 1989–90 is as follows:

Expenditure to be supported under the Training Grant Scheme in 1989–90 National priorities: £5.58 million—Local priorities: £7.60 million
