HC Deb 03 February 1992 vol 203 c76W
Mr. Fatchett

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list any additional financial support for local education authorities to fund in 1992–93 minor works projects of more than £120,000 for voluntary aided schools; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Fallon

The total amount of resources allocated in 1992–93 for minor works within the new range—£5,000 to £250,000—is £21 million. This compares with an allocation in 1991–92 of £6.7 million for minor works and £1.5 in respect of named major projects costing between £120,000 and £250,000.

Funds for minor works improvement projects are allocated to each local education authority and it is for them to determine which projects should be authorised. The Department has not prescribed the level of funds to be assigned to minor works projects costing more than £120,000.
