HC Deb 18 November 1991 vol 199 cc68-9W
Mr. Straw

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish an updated version of the table given in answer to the hon. Member for Blackburn, 22 November 1990,Official Report, columns 184–86, to include estimates for expenditure for 1992–93.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The updated information requested is provided in the table.

Notes:

1 All figures are in # million. All figures are rounded.

2 Constant prices are calculated at 1981–82 prices using the latest DGP deflators. The index for 1981–82 is set at 100.

3 The cash allocation figure for voluntary aided and special agreement schools for 1992–93 is provisional.

4 The Department provides grant aid at a rate of 85 per cent. on governors' capital expenditure at voluntary aided and special agreement schools.

5Capital grant figures for the voluntary aided sector for 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.

6 Prior to 1981–82 local authorities did not receive block allocations, 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.

7 Local authority allocations for 1989–90 and subsequent ACGs exclude institutions which were transferred to the PCFC sector in 1989–90.
