§ Mr. FatchettTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what would be the average central annual maintenance grant for grant-maintained schools based on section 42 of the Education Reform Act 1988 returns for local education authorities for which returns are available.
§ Mr. EggarThe average full-year equivalent central costs component of annual maintenance grant for the existing 50 grant-maintained schools in 1990–91 is £203,286. Central annual maintenance grant is calculated in accordance with the Education (Grant-maintained Schools) (Finance) Regulations 1990. These calculations take account of data provided by schools and local education authorities, including section 42 returns from LEAs.
§ Mr. FatchettTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list the representations which he has received on his paper "The Proposed Arrangements for the Calculation of Annual Maintenance Grant for Grant Maintained Schools for 1991–92"; and if he will make a statement.
