Notes:

1. Figures in this PQ refer to the whole Education budget, not just the Schools budget.

2. This PQ looks at the total level of planned spend by the authority compared to their formula allocation. This is a different issue to passporting which looks at the increase in the schools budget, compared to the formula increase.

3. Total Education Revenue Expenditure figures are drawn from Table 1 of the section 52 budget statements for 2003–04. Figures are as reported by LEAs on 6 May 2003 and are subject to change.

4. Total Education Revenue Expenditure (net) includes an adjustment for LSC SEN allocations where these had been clearly omitted.

5. EPS plus grants includes EPS, departmental LSC allocations, Specific Formula grants (including EiC) and London budget support grant for comparability.
