HC Deb 25 July 1991 vol 195 cc887-8W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish for each year since 1979 any capital funds that have been granted to local education authoritites in Wales over and above the planned capital allocation for the construction of new primary schools; and if he will separately distinguish denominational from non-denominational schools.

Sir Wyn Roberts

Provision for local authority capital spending is not hypothecated to individual services and it is for LEAs to decide how much to spend on each service. Information about total capital expenditure on schools by local education authorities was provided in the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Alyn and Deeside (Mr. Jones) on 10 July 1991.
