HC Deb 10 February 1999 vol 325 cc269-71W
Mr. Sanders

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what grants have been made, or are planned to be made, by his Department to Devon County Council in addition to revenue support grant in(a) 1997–98, (b) 1998–99 and (c) 1999–2000. [69365]

Ms Estelle Morris

Details of the grants, in addition to revenue support grant, made available, by the Department for Education and Employment to Devon County Council in 1997–98 and 1998–99 and planned to be made in 1999–2000 are shown in the following tables. From 1 April 1998, Torbay and Plymouth became separate unitary authorities, the figures across the first two years are therefore not directly comparable. The allocation of the grants for New Deal for Schools and the reduction of class sizes for 1999–2000 have not yet been made. For the Standards Fund the figures shown include the grant made by the Department and the contribution made by the local education authority.
