§ Mr. StrawTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list by(a) region and (b) for each local education authority the number of teacher vacancies in January 1988, 1989, 1990 and 1991; and if he will show this figure also as a percentage of the total teaching force in each area.
§ Mr. FallonProvisional vacancy figures for 1991 were published on 17 May and are summarised in the table.
The 1991 figures are provisional and a breakdown by local education authority is not yet available. I am arranging for a copy of the numbers of vacancies by local education authority for 1988 to 1990 to be placed in the Library. Comparable figures for 1991 will be placed in the Library when available.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeDetails of local education authority capital expenditure bids and education annual capital guidelines—ACGs—for 1991–92 are set out in the table, together with bids and allocations for work at voluntary aided and special agreement schools. No local education authority has ever expected to receive its ACG bid in full, and authorities bid on the basis that they will receive an ACG or allocation to the extent that the bid 495W matches national priority criteria. There is therefore no direct connection between the size of the bid and the level of the ACG or allocation distributed. The percentage figures in the last column are therefore devoid of any real significance.
Annual capital guidelines are not the only source of capital funding available to local education authorities.
