§ Mr. Damian GreenTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much funding each learning support unit has attracted for each year since 1997, broken down by local education authority. [47740]
§ Mr. Ivan LewisFunding for learning support units is allocated to local education authorities through the Standards Fund and the Excellence in Cities Programme. Decisions on the amount made available for each unit are made at the local level, this information is not held centrally. The tables show the funding available for each local education authority for learning support units.
Table 1 shows the funding available for learning support units and learning mentors for each authority in the Excellence in Cities programme—which commenced 161W in 1999. The table also includes those authorities with schools taking part in the Excellence Clusters programme. Funding for learning support units is made available alongside complementary support for learning mentors, it is not possible therefore to disaggregate this funding.

§ Mr. Ivan LewisWe are unable to provide a full breakdown of how many learning support units per local education authority have opened or closed since 1997 as we do not collate this information centrally.
However, the table does show a breakdown of the learning support units that are funded through Excellence in Cities as at 1 February 2002, including those proposed as part of the pilot set up for EiC Phase 1 Primary schools. Not all are up and running yet, the figures reflect the numbers and LEA location for approved learning support unit plans.
