HC Deb 19 May 1999 vol 331 cc378-82W
Mr. Lidington

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how much money is currently being held in reserve by his Department under the New Deal for schools (phase 3) following the allocation of awards to local education authorities; and if he will make a statement on his policy towards the use of this money. [84558]

Mr. Charles Clarke

Following the NDS3 announcement of grant allocations on 30 March, a total of £12,269,810 is currently being held in reserve.

The reserve represents a combination of provisional commitment of grant still to be distributed to those Authorities which did not receive a complete allocation on 30 March; and grant earmarked for specific projects which are awaiting decisions on Statutory Proposals or, as in the case of Public Private Partnership projects, Central Government approval.

There is no unallocated Reserve. It is not envisaged that much, if any, allocated or reserved grant will be returned to the Department for re-allocation during the year.

Mr. Lidington

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will list in respect of each local education authority in England,(a) the amount bid for under the New Deal for Schools (phase 3), (b) the amount awarded by his Department and (c) the amount awarded expressed as a percentage of the bid. [84556]

Mr. Charles Clarke
