HC Deb 15 May 1995 vol 260 c32W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what research he has conducted into the effectiveness and fairness of the local management of schools formula for the delegation of school budgets; and what proposals he has to change it. [23390]

Mr. Ancram

The effects of the local management of schools formula have been closely monitored by the five education and library boards and by the Department of Education. The Department has also commissioned the University of Ulster to undertake a survey of the impact of LMS on school. I have no proposal for changes at this time.
