§ Mr. StrawTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish a table giving the amounts for England of capital allocations for(a) county and voluntary controlled schools, (b) voluntary aided schools and (c) the totals of (a) and (b) for each financial year from and including 1978–79 to 1990–91 expressed in (i) current prices, (ii) constant prices and (iii) an index of (ii) where 1978–79 = 100, together with such estimates for expenditure in 1991–92 on a comparable basis as are already available from the autumn statement.
§ Mr. FallonNot all the information is available in the form requested. The table shows figures from 1981–82. Prior to 1981–82, local education authorities did not receive block allocations, but were notified annually, in the context of a rolling programme, of a limit on the value of building starts in the following year.
From 1981–82 to 1989–90 allocations for spending on capital works were made to local education authorities for schools and colleges of further and higher education, in accordance with the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980. It was for each local education authority to decide how to use its allocation, including apportionment between schools and colleges, and the extent to which it wished to supplement it through the use of capital receipts and other sources of revenue.
Figures for 1990–91 and 1991–92 (in the table) are not comparable with previous years. Following the Local Government and Housing Act 1989, the Department issues an annual capital guideline to each local education authority, which is one element in the calculation of each local authority's basic credit approval announced by the Department of the Environment.

1. All figures are in £ million. All figures are rounded.
2. Constant prices are calculated at 1981–82 prices using the latest GDP deflators. The index for 1981–82 is set at 100.
3. The Department provides grant aid at a rate of 85 per cent. on governors' capital expenditure at voluntary aided and special agreement schools.
4. Capital grant figures for the voluntary aided sector for the year 1981–82 are not separately identifiable from a single building grant figure which includes repairs and maintenance. The capital figures shown for this year are based on an apportionment of the building grant figure using the average ratio between capital and repairs during 1982–83 and 1985–86.
5. Prior to 1981–82 local authorities did not receive block allocation, but were notified annually in the context of a rolling programme of a limit on the value of the building starts in the following year.
6. Local authority allocations for 1989–90 and ACGs for 1990–91 and 1991–92 exclude institutions which were transferred to the PCFC sector in 1989–90.
