HC Deb 30 March 1999 vol 328 cc630-5W
Mr. McLoughlin

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what amount of Derbyshire County Council's total education budget was not passed on to schools in(a) 1996, (b) 1997 and (c) 1998. [79342]

Ms Estelle Morris

The amount of the General Schools Budget which was not included in the Aggregated Schools Budget in Derbyshire in the years in question was as follows:

£
1996–97 82,089,000
1997–98 68,006,000
1998–99 71,567,000

We expect that there will be a substantial reduction in amounts held centrally by Local Education Authorities in 1999–2000 as a result of increased delegation to schools under the new Fair Funding framework.

Mr. McLoughlin

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will estimate the amount in cash terms of(a) funding from his Department per pupil in Derbyshire between 1996–97 and 1997–98 and (b) the funding allocated by Derbyshire County Council to each school, per pupil, over the same period. [79362]

Ms Estelle Morris

This question cannot be answered in the form in which it has been tabled. Education SSAs have a wider coverage than funding which can be allocated to schools. They have to cover costs such as home-to-school transport, school meals, and some central costs which cannot be delegated to schools, such as the LEA contribution to the Standards Fund. In addition, pupils are counted at different dates for the purposes of calculating education SSAs and allocating school funding respectively.

Mr. McLoughlin

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how much was spent in total on education in Derbyshire at constant prices in each of the last five years from all public sources of funds. [79364]

Ms Estelle Morris

No "like-for like" data exist on total expenditure in Derbyshire on education over the last five years from all public sources of funds. The following table sets out Derbyshire's overall education spending, net of specific grants, in each of the last five years but it is not possible to adjust the figures for each year to take account of local government reorganisation and changes in local authority functions, such as the reform of inter-authority recoupment or the nursery voucher scheme, to give a true picture. Since we took office, some £18 million has been supported through the Standards Fund programme in Derbyshire and the authority has received capital allocations of some £18 million. There has been an underlying increase in Derbyshire's education SSA for 1999–2000 of £15.6 million or 6.1 per cent.

£ million
Financial Year Education spend
1994–95 333
1995–96 323
1996–97 336
1997–98 243
1998–99 266

Mr. McLoughlin

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what is the average standard spending assessment provision for(a) primary and (b) secondary pupils in each English local education authority area in (i) 1997–98 and (ii) 1998–99, in current prices. [79366]
