§ Paddy TippingTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what estimate he has made of the level of funds held in school balances; and if he will list this, broken down by local education authority. [118614]
§ Mr. Miliband[holding answer 12 June 2003]The following table indicates, for each local education authority, the balances carried forward by maintained schools in England at the end of the financial year 2001–02. The figures are taken from the outturn statements for that year produced by local education authorities under section 52 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998. These figures should not, therefore, be taken as necessarily being representative either of the amounts being carried over at the end of 2002–03 or of the current position. Information on balances carried forward at the end of 2002–03 is not yet available because the deadline for the production of1140W LEAs' outturn statements for that financial year is not until 10 October 2003, and it would be premature at this stage to attempt an estimate.
