HC Deb 13 June 2003 vol 406 c238W
Norman Baker

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what recent communications he has received from East Sussex county council regarding the need for a replacement school at Wivelsfield; and if he will make a statement. [115794]

Mr. Miliband

The Department has not received any formal communication from East Sussex local education authority regarding Wivelsfield Primary School. Most capital funding for schools is now allocated by formula, allowing local education authorities greater opportunity to plan and invest their resources, in accordance with the priorities identified through their Asset Management planning process.
