Sir John Stanley

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what was the number of grant-maintained(a) primary schools and (b) secondary schools for which the Kent local education authority no longer had financial responsibility as at the end of the 1992–93 financial year; and in respect of how many grant-maintained (i) primary schools and (ii) secondary schools Kent local education authority has ceased to have financial responsibility since the beginning of the 1993–94 financial year. [13172]

Mr. Squire

At 31 March 1993, there were three primary and 33 secondary grant-maintained schools in the Kent local education authority area. Since 1 April 1993, 25 primary and 35 secondary schools in Kent have become grant maintained. Since 1 April 1994, the recurrent budgets for these schools have been determined and paid by the Funding Agency for Schools, with their annual maintenance grants being recouped from the local education authority.
