HC Deb 27 February 1992 vol 204 cc566-9W
Mr. Cousins

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish a table showing for each local education authority the percentage increase in standard spending assessment for education comparing 1992–93 with 1991–92; how much of this variation was accounted for by variation in pupil numbers; how much was to meet the full year effects of the 1991 teachers pay award; and how much was for the anticipated effect of the 1992 pay award.

Mr. Key

The table shows for each authority the total percentage increase in the education standard spending assessment between 1991–92 and 1992–93 and the percentage increase accounted for by the changes in pupil numbers.

The overall cost of teachers' pay awards is among the pressures which the Government have taken into account in determining the appropriate amount for authorities to spend collectively on education in 1992–93. The cost of the pay awards is not, however, one of the indicators used to calculate education standard spending assessments and it is not therefore possible to identify a separate allowance for this cost within individual authorities' standard spending assessments.

Education authorities are to receive additional grant of £56.6 million in 1992–93 to fund the additional cost of the teachers' pay award. This will be distributed in line with the schools' elements of the education standard spending assessment.
