HC Deb 17 October 1994 vol 248 cc24-35W
Mr. Gapes

To ask the Secretary of State for Education how much was the education standard spending assessment for each local education authority in the current financial year; how much was distributed to each local education authority; and what were the total amounts in each case.

Mr. Robin Squire

Most central Government support for local authorities is in the form of revenue support grant and non-domestic rates. Standard spending assessments are used to determine the overall RSG paid to each authority. The education standard spending assessments for 1994–95 for each English local education authority are as follows:

Mrs Gorman

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if she will show for each local education authority and for each year since 1988–89(a) the percentage of the potential schools budget which is not delegated to schools through the aggregate schools budget, (b) the percentage of the general schools budget which is not delegated to schools through the aggregate schools budget and (c) the percentage of pupils in schools covered by schemes of delegation.

Mr. Robin Squire

The information requested at(a) and (b) is set out in the tables, for the financial year 1990–91, when the first statutory schemes for the local management of schools came into force, and subsequent years.

LMS schemes came into force in 1990–91 for all local education authorities with the exception of 10 whose schemes came into force in 1991–92—Croydon, Hereford and Worcester, Hertfordshire, Hillingdon, Isles of Scilly, Leicestershire, Manchester, Newham, Stockport, Wirral— and 12 whose schemes came into force in 1992–93—the inner London authorities other than Westminster. From their inception, these schemes covered all county and voluntary schools maintained by the authorities concerned; they have since been extended to cover all special schools, with effect from 1993–94 in the cases of Bedfordshire, Brent, Bromley, Buckinghamshire, Harrow, Lincolnshire, Northumberland and Rotherham, and with effect from 1994–95 in the case of all other authorities.

Notes to Tables

  1. 1. A local education authority's General Schools Budget (GSB) is the authority's total planned expenditure in respect of the schools covered by its LMS Scheme: its Potential Schools Budget (PSB) consists of the GSB, less the authority's planned central expenditure on certain items which are either statutorily excepted from delegation to schools or are otherwise difficult to delegate: and its Aggregated Schools Budget is that part of the GSB which is distributed to individual schools in the form of "budget shares" determined by formula.
  2. 34 35
  3. 2. The figures in the Tables have been derived from the annual budget statements which local education authorities are required to publish under section 42 of the Education Reform Act 1988: all percentages have been rounded to one decimal place. "N/A" indicates either that no statutory LMS scheme was yet in operation for the authority, or that the authority's budget statement for the year in question is not to hand.
  4. 3. In the case of inner London authorities (other than Westminister), the introduction of LMS was deferred until April 1992, and the delegation requirements applicable in their case differ from those applicable elsewhere. These authorities are therefore shown separately in the Tables.
