HC Deb 19 July 2004 vol 424 cc97-8W
Charles Hendry

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many new school halls have been approved for primary schools in East Sussex in each of the last 10 years; and how many applications for new school halls for primary schools in East Sussex have been rejected in each of the last 10 years.

Mr. Miliband

We do not hold the information requested. The majority of capital support is allocated to schools and local education authorities by formula, and they decide how to invest it in line with their asset management plans.

In 2001–02 there were five projects in East Sussex awarded funding under the Spaces for Sports and Arts programme operated by Sport England. This programme was intended to increase community and curricula use in primary schools.
