All approved posts remain eligible for grant funding. It is a matter for authorities to decide, within their overall financial provision, how they propose to proceed in the light of the reductions in section 11 funding which we regret it has been necessary to make.

Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the expenditure, per London borough, on section 11 projects for each of the past five years; what it will be in the current year; and what is the proposed expenditure for 1994–95.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

The table shows, in relation to each London borough, and also the London Boroughs Grants Unit and, where relevant, the Inner London education authority,

  1. (a) for the years between 1988–89 and 1992–93, grant expenditure under section 11;
  2. (b) for 1993–94, amounts of grant under three quarterly payments so far made; and
  3. (c) budget allocations which have been notified as the basis for grant recipients' own expenditure in 1994–95.

Since grant is currently paid on the basis of actual expenditure incurred by grant recipients, it is not possible to give grant expenditure figures for 1993–94 as a whole, or for 1994–95.

It should be noted that the later figures in relation to the Inner London education authority include grant in respect of earlier years, payment of which had been delayed due to the late submission of claims.
