§ Bob RussellTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much additional funding is to be allocated to Essex County Council to replace demountable classrooms in the Colchester constituency with permanent accommodation. [71480]
§ Mr. Ivan Lewis[holding answer 19 July 2002]: We do not hold information in the form requested. Most capital support is allocated to Local Education Authorities and schools by needs related formulae. It is for Essex Local Education Authority (LEA) and its schools to decide how their capital allocations are invested, as part of the development of their local Asset Management Plan. To date, Essex LEA, and its schools, have already been allocated support for £107 million of capital works in total over 2002–03 and 2003–04.
