HC Deb 08 September 2003 vol 410 c124W
Ms Buck

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if he will list the transfers into and out of formula spending share for 2004–05, and grants which are due to cease at the end of 2003–04; and whether his Department plans consequently to adjust the baseline calculation for floors and ceilings. [127164]

Mr. Miliband

The Secretary of State's statement of 17 July on school funding indicated that the standards fund would be maintained at its 2003–04 levels.

Details of any transfers into or out of formula spending will be announced later in the year, as will details on the baseline for floors and ceilings. However, we will ensure that every school and LEA has a reasonable year-on-year increase in its overall per pupil funding.
