HC Deb 14 January 1994 vol 235 c279W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what steps he is taking to ensure that pupils who transfer from grant-maintained schools to local authority-maintained schools take a proportion of funds with them.

Mr. Robin Squire

The predominantly pupil-led funding arrangements for both grant-maintained and local authority maintained schools allow movements of pupils between the two sectors, in either direction, to be reflected in school budgets on an annual basis.
