HC Deb 29 March 1994 vol 240 cc733-4W
19. Mrs. Jane Kennedy

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what applications for capital spending he has received from direct grant schools on Merseyside for the year up to 1 April; and what allowance has been made by his Department to those schools during the same period.

Mr. Robin Squire

I assume that the hon. Member is referring to capital bids by self-governing—grant-maintained—schools for 1993–94. One such school on Merseyside received a named project allocation totalling £750,000. Emergency grants totalling £188,000 have also been made to schools on Merseyside in the same period.
