HC Deb 06 February 1990 vol 166 cc588-9W
Mr. Cousins

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what were the education capital allocations to each of the Tyne and Wear metropolitan boroughs in 1989–90 and 1990–91, in both cash and current prices; and what was the capital grant to city technology colleges in the Tyne and Wear area, in cash and current prices for the same years.

Mr. Alan Howarth

For 1989–90, local education authorities received capital allocations for education. With the introduction of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989, the Department has issued an annual capital guideline to each local education authority for 1990–91, which is one element in the calculation of each local authority's basic credit approval for 1990–91 announced by the Department of the Environment. Table A shows the figures for the Tyne and Wear area. Table B shows the estimated total capital expenditure for the new build for Tyneside's CTC, which will be divided on a ratio of 80:20, split between the Department and sponsors.
