HC Deb 22 May 1996 vol 278 c255W
27. Mr. Simpson

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what proportion of the technology grants already awarded have gone to estate schools which are neither opted out, nor voluntary aided nor city technology colleges. [29121]

Mrs. Gillan

Since the specialist schools initiative was launched in November 1993, a total of £37.9 million has been allocated to the initiative up to the end of 1996–97. Of this total, £3.4 million has been allocated in capital grant and £5.3 million in recurrent grant to participating state schools which are neither grant maintained, nor voluntary aided nor CTC.
