HC Deb 27 March 2001 vol 365 cc552-5W
Caroline Flint

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what specific support his Department has provided to coalmining communities by(a) region and (b) local education authority area since 1997. [154304]

Ms Estelle Morris

Most funding provided by the Department is distributed via local education authorities. The Department does not hold information on support provided to coalmining communities by region. The tables set out the total funding to coalfield areas for the years 1996–97 to 2001–01 by local education authority area. The following revenue grants have been included: DfEE contributions to the standards fund; class size reduction grant; funding for education action zones; grant for nursery vouchers in 1997–98; school budget support grant; and school standards grant.

Where there are no figures against years 1996–97 or 1997–98, the authority had either been subject to local government reorganisation, or had yet to be created as a result of LGR.
