§ Mr. Gordon PrenticeTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment which educational institutions will benefit from funding under the capital guidelines for Lancashire for 2000–01. [103229]
§ Ms Estelle Morris[holding answer 20 December 1999]: It is for Lancashire County Council to decide how best to use the over £6.5 million of credit approvals, which was allocated to it under the 2000–01 Education Annual Capital Guideline to meet local need. That said, part of the allocation was made in recognition of the need for 536 additional secondary places in the Clithetoe and Poulton/Thornton Cleveleys area; part in recognition of improvement and replacement works that are needed at all maintained schools; and part in recognition of commitments arising from the projects supported under the Annual Capital Guideline.
