Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills, pursuant to her answer of 7 November 2001,Official Report, column 239W, on education spending, for what period this information is available. [14680]

Mr. Timms

The table sets out the information which is available on a comparable basis. Since most capital is not and never has been devolved to schools and colleges, the percentage of recurrent funding devolved is higher than the total of capital and recurrent funding.

1999–2000 2000–01 2001–02
Percentage of total funding devolved to schools and colleges 79 78 79
Percentage of total recurrent funding devolved to schools and colleges 84 84 84
