§ Mr. WillisTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment (1) what the final 2001–02 Standards Fund allocations made to local education authorities are by(a) constituency and (b) region; what the total local education authority contributions were to the Standards Fund for 2001–02, broken down by constituency; and what the total value of the Standards Fund was in 2000–01; [148059]
(2) what total amount of (a) grants and (b) capital spending is incorporated in the Standards Fund for 2001–02; [148060]
(3) what the percentage increase is in (a) local education authority contributions and (b) DfEE contributions to the Standards Fund for 2001–02. [148061]
§ Ms Estelle Morris[holding answer 31 January 2001]: The table shows, by region, the amounts allocated so far through the Standards Fund to each local education authority for 2001–02, including the local education authorities' contributions. Allocations cannot be given at constituency level. Some allocations remain to be made as they depend on data not yet available. All allocations requiring a local authority contribution have been made. Of the £2,492 million so far allocated, £1,837 million is recurrent and £655 million is for capital spending.
Following the announcement in the pre-Budget statement of an extra £143 million DfEE grant for capital spending this year, the Standards Fund for 2000–01 totals £2,488 million. For 2001–02 the Standards Fund will eventually total around £2,870 million. This is an increase in local education authority contributions of around £150 million (25 per cent.), and an increase of around £230 million (14 per cent.) in DfEE contributions.
273WThe figures include all grants paid through the Standards Fund, other than New Deal for Schools capital, which is paid through the Standards Fund, mechanism but is not considered part of the programme.
