HC Deb 12 February 2001 vol 363 cc45-6W
Mr. Todd

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what the capital expenditure in schools was in the South Derbyshire constituency supported by the Funding Agency for Schools in each financial year from 1993–94. [149780]

Jacqui Smith

The table shows the total number and value of allocations for capital projects at Grant Maintained (GM) schools in Derbyshire for each financial year from 1993–94. The Funding Agency for Schools was not established until 1 April 1994. The allocations shown in the table for 1993–94 were made by the Department for Education. Capital funding to GM schools from 1994–95 was made by both project specific allocations to individual schools and by formula allocation to all schools. The total allocations for both types of grant are shown in the table.

Details of actual capital expenditure in each financial year are not readily available as this information was not collected before individual project records were achieved.
