Whether they will publish a list showing for each Local Education Authority (LEA) in England, for 1998–99 its General Schools Budget, its Potential Schools Budget, the difference between these two amounts expressed as a figure and as a percentage of the General Schools Budget withheld by each LEA which is outside its Potential Schools Budget, and the amount under each heading. [HL103]

The Minister of State, Department for Education and Employment (Baroness Blackstone)

The following table shows, for each local education authority in England—and for England as a whole—for 1998–99, its General Schools Budget (GSB), Potential Schools Budget (PSB), and the difference between the two expressed both as a figure and as a percentage of the General Schools Budget.
