§ Mr.Damian GreenTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the reduction in revenue for each local education authority will be caused by the removal of grants 603 and 613 of the Standards Fund announced on 29 November 2002 in the(a) financial year 2003–04 and (b) school year 2003–04. [105574]
§ Mr.MilibandGrant 603 (Class Size Grant) totalled £143 million in 2002–03 for revenue funding. This has been transferred into Education Formula Spending for 2003–04 and authorities' allocations for 2002–03 were taken into account in calculating the minimum and maximum increases in Education Formula Spending Share.
Grant 613 (Key Stage 2 Class Size Recurrent Funding) totalled £7 million in 2002–03. This was not transferred into Education Formula Spending Share, but losses of this grant were taken into account in the calculation of the new £28 million grant to support authorities worst hit by the losses of certain Standards Fund Grant and low Education Formula Spending Share increases.
