HC Deb 15 January 2004 vol 416 c894W 894W

§ 12. Mr. Allen
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the basis was for his decision on how funding under the funding of schools programme should be allocated; and if he will make a statement on the impact of that decision on Nottingham, North. [147877]

§ Mr. Miliband
We will announce shortly the local authority projects in wave 1 of Building Schools for the Future. We published our criteria for prioritisation in July 2003, and I have placed a copy of this guidance in the House of Commons Library.
Secondary education in every part of England should have facilities of 21^st Century standard, and we are committed to deliver this goal within 10 to 15 years from 2005–06, subject to future public spending decisions.
