§ Mr. David PorterTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement listing the money his Department has invested in education in Suffolk(a) on statutory age education and (b) post-16 education for each of the last 10 years; and what his plans are for the next three years.
§ Mr. FallonSpending on education in Suffolk is financed by a number of sources, including rates and the community charge, Government revenue support grant and specific grants, and fees and charges for services. Rates, community charge and revenue support grant are made available to fund all of the local authority's services, and are not hypothecated between individual services. Therefore, it is not possible to identify how much of the authority's spending on education is financed by each of these sources.
