§ Mr. DorrellTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if he will list capital spending on Leicestershire schools in each year since 1997–98. [127267]
§ Mr. MilibandWe do not collect detailed information on capital spend on school buildings. The table as follows sets out the capital allocations made by this government to Leicestershire Local Education Authority (LEA) and its schools since 1997–98. The LEA determines investment of these funds by prioritising the capital requirements of its schools through the asset management planning process. The authority may have augmented the government's funding from other sources.
