HC Deb 22 April 1999 vol 329 cc678-82W
Mr. Don Foster

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will list by local education authority the funds received per pupil from all the initiatives launched and managed by his Department since May 1997, listing separately funds received from(a) standards fund initiatives and (b) other initiatives including capital funds. [80691]

Ms Estelle Morris

The funding per pupil for all education initiatives announced by the Department of Education and Employment since May 1997 is listed for each local education authority in the following table. The figures for the Standards Fund do not include those Grants for Education Support and Training announced prior to May 1997 but paid in the 1997–98 financial year. Grant maintained school pupils are included in the Standards Fund from April 1999. The Standards Fund figures include contributions from local education authorities. The per pupil figures in the table represent an average for each local education authority across all phases and types of school. The initiatives have not been disaggregated to take account of the particular types of school or pupil that they are aimed at. The amount per pupil for Standards Fund will depend on several local factors, such as the level of grant successfully bid for and accepted by a local education authority. Grants other than Standards Fund grants include nursery education grant paid in respect of children attending private, voluntary and independent providers of nursery education within the relevant local education authority area. However, these children are not included in the pupil count used to derive the per pupil figures in column (b).
