HC Deb 14 June 2004 vol 422 cc786-7W
Ms Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much money has been invested in Stoke-on-Trent North to build long-term school sports facilities since 1997; and if he will make a statement. [177636]

Mr. Miliband

We do not hold information in the form requested. The bulk of capital funding is allocated to local education authorities and schools by formula and it is for them to est this funding to meet priorities identified in their local asset management plan.

We do not hold allocation information at constituency level, but the table shows total capital funding allocated to Stoke-on-Trent.
