Mr. Andrew Turner

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the value of the formula spending share for each primary school pupil for deprivation is in each local authority for 2004–05. [150070]

Mr. Miliband

[holding answer 22 January 2004]The education formula spending share allocates the same value for each primary aged pupil with additional educational needs. For 2004–05, this value is £1,370. The proportion of primary aged pupils with additional educational needs is estimated in each authority using measures of children in families in receipt of income support, children in families in receipt of working families tax credit and pupils who do not have English as their mother tongue.
