HC Deb 20 March 2001 vol 365 cc152-5W
Mr. Drew

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will estimate the cash resources to be paid directly to Stroud schools, by sector, in 2001–02 on the basis of proposals in the pre-Budget report; and if he will list the schools to benefit, giving the sum in each case. [152179]

Jacqui Smith

[holding answer [...] March 2001]The following table shows the estimated allocations made to schools in the Stroud constituency for additional devolved formula capital in 2000–01, following the pre-Budget report. This funding was made available in 2000–01 rather than 2001–02. Gloucestershire local education authority will be able to confirm the final allocations made to non-Voluntary Aided schools. A total of £4.346 million devolved formula capital has been made available to schools in Gloucestershire in 2000–01.

Schools in Gloucestershire will benefit from over £11.5 million through New Deal for Schools Devolved formula capital over the three years 2001–02 to 2003–04, plus a share of the £300 million of additional funds made available by the Chancellor for the programme in his Budget of 7 March.

Overall, central Government support for capital investment in school buildings in England has tripled from £683 million a year in 1996–97 to over £2 billion in 2000–01. It will be £3.5 billion in 2003–04, including grant, credit approvals and Private Finance Initiative credits. There will be central Government investment of £8.5 billion in school buildings in total from 2001–02 to 2003–04.
