§ Mr. Greg KnightTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the average funding per pupil 217W for local education authorities in England and Wales was in each of the last two years; and what the funding per pupil for the East Riding of Yorkshire was in each year. [115912]
§ Mr. MilibandMy Department is not responsible for funding in Wales. The information requested for England and East Riding of Yorkshire is contained in the following table:
Total funding per pupil aged 4 to 19 2001–02 2002–03 England 3,390 3,500 East Riding of Yorkshire 3,060 3,150 Notes: 1. Figures reflect education SSA settlement figures (all sub-blocks, excluding, where relevant, the funding for four-year-olds at private, voluntary and independent institutions) plus all revenue grants in DfESs departmental expenditure limits relevant to pupils aged 4 to 19 (excluding EMA and a handful of others where it is not possible to get figures on a comparable basis over time). 2. The pupil numbers used to convert £ million figures to £ per pupil are the maintained pupils underlying the SSA settlement calculations. 3. 2002–03 SSA figures are net LSC i.e. do not include the element for LSC allocations in respect of sixth forms. LSC is treated as grant. 4. Figures are as reported by LEAs and are taken from the 2002–03 section 52 budget statements. 5. Real terms, 2001–02 prices, based on GDP deflators as at April 2003. 6. Figures are rounded to the nearest £10. Totals may not sum due to rounding.
