§ Baroness Blatchasked Her Majesty's Government:
Further to the Written Answer by the Baroness Blackstone on 15 June (WA 115) in relation to school finance where it is proposed that there is to be "a new 100 per cent. delegation framework for the funding of schools by local education authorities", of what is the delegation framework to be 100 per cent. [HL2348]
§ Baroness BlackstoneThe Government's intention is that funding should be fully delegated by LEAs to schools in respect of all functions other than those which clearly need to be carried out at the level of the LEA. As noted in my previous Answer, the final division of responsibilities and associated funding within the new framework will be informed by the outcome of the consultation.
