HC Deb 22 January 1997 vol 288 cc625-30W
Dr. Lynne Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if she will list the capital allocations for 1997–98 to each local education authority(a) in cash terms and (b) at 1995–96 prices together with the average allocation at 1995–96 prices for the five years between 1992–93 and 1996–97 for each authority. [11958]

Mrs. Gillan

The table lists each local education authority's 1997–98 annual capital guideline in cash terms and at 1995–96 prices. It also lists, at 1995–96 prices, the average capital allocation—annual capital guideline plus any supplementary credit approvals—for each LEA for the period 1993–94 to 1996–97. Comparable data for 1992–93 can be provided only at disproportionate cost.

We expect to issue further supplementary credit approvals in 1996–97, and to issue supplementary credit approvals totalling about £66 million—or £63 million at 1995–96 prices—in 1997–98. The table does not include allocations under capital challenge.

Mr. Rooker

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if she will list for each local education authority(a) its percentage of the national school population and (b) the percentage of extra resources from the increase in the latest standard spending assessment allocated to it. [11942]

Mr. Robin Squire

The following table sets out the percentage for each authority of the national total of pupils underlying the provisional education standard spending assessment calculations for 1997–98 and the provisional percentage for each authority of the £592 million increase in the national total of education standard spending assessments, net of specific grants. The further additional resources available through the specific grant programmes are not included in this analysis, as they are not necessarily allocated on the basis of pupil numbers.

Some care must be taken in drawing conclusions from this table. Each authority's share of the extra resources will reflect the year on year change in its pupil numbers and therefore may not be proportionate to its share of the national total of pupil numbers. Variations in the shares of the extra resources are also affected in particular by year-on-year changes in the proportion of children in each authority who are entitled to free school meals.
