HC Deb 29 January 1998 vol 305 c326W
Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will list for each local authority with responsibility for education the amount by which the increase in revenue support grant adjusted for changes in nursery voucher funding and increased NNDR differs from the amount that has been passported through the capping regime to raise standards in schools; and what is the total figure for all local authorities. [25981]

Mr. Raynsford

[holding answer 28 January 1998]: I have placed the figures requested in the Library of the House. It is not possible to adjust revenue support grant in isolation from national non domestic rates, so the figures are expressed in terms of the sum of revenue support grant and non domestic rates, adjusted for changes in nursery voucher funding.
