§ Mr. McNamaraTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what proposals he has to enable nursery schools whose numbers have increased above the full-time equivalent of 105 pupils after 20 January to receive an additional £3,000. [128797]
§ Ms Estelle MorrisThere are no plans to pay additional School Standards Grant to schools to take account of increases in their number of pupils after 20 January 2000. This was the date of the annual Schools Census, and the allocation of available funds between schools was most effectively done by using data from that source.
