HC Deb 18 November 2002 vol 394 c31W
Mr. Brady

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills which schools have moved between bands for the purposes of School Standards Grant in each of the last two years as a result of a change in pupil numbers, showing in each case the increase or decrease in the school budget and the date on which the change took effect. [81087]

Mr. Miliband

Local education authorities (LEAs) are responsible for paying School Standards Grant (SSG) to individual schools on the basis of a central grant received from the Department. The format of LEAs' financial returns would mean that providing the required information would incur disproportionate cost.
