(2) what payments his Department (a) has made and (b) intends to make directly to schools in the form of flat-rate payments. [141955]

Ms Estelle Morris

The Government are making School Standards Grant of approximately £290 million available in 2000–01. In 2001–02 the amount of such grant will increase to £540 million, and will continue for the following two years with a 2.75 per cent. annual uplift. Schools receive this grant in lump sums based on the size and category of school; in 2001–02 a typical primary school will receive £20,000 and a typical secondary school, £60,000.

Mr. Kidney

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will set out the payments made to all local education authorities from his Standards Fund expressed in amounts per pupil for each year since 1997. [141956]

Ms Estelle Morris

The following table shows payments from the Standards Fund, shown as an amount per pupil, for 1997–98, 1998–99 and 1999–2000, for each local education authority. The figures for 1999–2000 are estimated payments, as audited outturn statements have yet to be received from all authorities. The figures include all grants paid through the Standards Fund payment system, excluding New Deal for Schools Capital, which is not part of the Standards Fund programme. Details for 2000–01 are not yet available.
