HC Deb 29 October 2002 vol 391 c721W
Mr. Watts

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will list, by local education authority, the percentage of children receiving extra funding from(a) area cost adjustment, (b) other deprivation, (c) ethnicity, (d) income support and (e) sparsity funding. [77016]

Mr. Miliband

In the current education standard spending assessment system, additional funding for deprivation, area costs, and sparsity is allocated to each LEA according to indicators derived from an analysis of past spending patterns. It is not therefore possible to identify percentages of children receiving extra support for each of these characteristics.
