HC Deb 26 February 1999 vol 326 cc484-5W
Mr. Don Foster

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many bids in respect of the initiatives in(a) 1998–99 and (b) 1999–2000 involving competitive bidding from local education authorities were (i) made and (ii) successful in each education action zone. [63981]

Ms Estelle Morris

Table 1 shows the bids from local education authorities for schools in education action zones for the School Inclusion: Pupil Support Standards Fund Grant 1999–2000. Table 2 shows bids from local education authorities for the Early Excellence Centre Programme.

There are no other initiatives for which this information can be given as bids are either: (i) made by local authorities but not in respect of named schools; or (ii) made by local education authorities in respect of named schools, but the information on which schools is not held by the department and/or identifying them would incur disproportionate cost.
