HC Deb 12 July 1990 vol 176 c312W
Ms. Armstrong

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how much money is allocated to grant-maintained schools in their annual maintenance grants as arising from their share of their former local education authority budget provision for inspection and advisory services.

Mrs. Rumbold

Annual maintenance grant is calculated to include a per-pupil proportion of the planned spending on such services by each grant-mantained school's former maintaining local education authority. The amount of money allocated will therefore vary between schools in different authorities.

For example, in 1989–90 the full-year amount attributable to such services in Lincolnshire, the authority formerly responsible for maintaining three of the first 18 grant-maintained schools, was £9.36 per pupil; and in Barnet, where there are two grant-maintained schools, the amount was £12.21 per pupil.
