§ Sir David MitchellTo ask the Secretary of State for Education by what sum the Government's contribution to the Hampshire local education authority has changed for the years 1994–95 and 1995–96; and what information he has concerning the cash balances held by schools in Hampshire.
§ Mr. Robin SquireAllowing for the reform of inter-authority recoupment, Hampshire's education standard spending assessment for 1995–96 will rise by £2.3 million over the comparable 1994–95 figure.
For the financial year ending in March 1994, the outturn statement prepared by the county council for that year under section 42 of the Education Reform Act 1988 showed that total balances held by schools in Hampshire were £25.542 million.
