HC Deb 18 March 1999 vol 327 c753W
22. Mr. Gray

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what plans he has to review the education element of the SSA formula. [75597]

Ms Estelle Morris

The Government will not seek to change the system of calculating standard spending assessments for the three years up to 2001–02. It will, nevertheless, be subject to review. Ministers at the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions will take the lead. This will involve local government representation and Ministers with local government service interests.
