§ Mr. KilfoyleTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much public funding was spent per pupil in(a) Kent and (b) Liverpool in (i) 1997 and (ii) 2003. [166957]
§ Mr. MilibandThe information requested is contained in the following table:
Net current expenditure per pupil Primary Pre-primary and primary £ Secondary Kent LEA 1997–98 n/a 1,890 2,900 2002–03 2,790 — 3,620 Liverpool LEA 1997–98 n/a 1,880 2,640 2002–03 3.250 — 4,150 Notes:
1. The financial data are taken from Kent and Liverpool's Section 52 Outturn Statements submitted to the DfES; the 1997–98 financial data is taken from the ODPM's RO1 statement. The 1997–98 figures are Kent LEA prior to local government reorganisation. From 1998–99 onwards parts of Kent LEA became Rochetter and Gillingham LEAs. 1999–2000 figures reflect the return of GM schools to local authority maintenance. Figures are rounded to the nearest £10.2002–03 data is subject to change by the LEA.
2. Expenditure was not distinguished between pre-primary and primary sectors until the inception of the Section 52 Outturn Statement in 1999–2000.

§ Margaret HodgeMost of this funding is directed through local accountable bodies that cover a wider geographical area than Crosby. In each case, that body has the freedom to use its funding flexibly, within a broad overall framework, to meet local priorities. Each of the respective local bodies may have used some of its funding in the Crosby area but, in most cases, it is not possible to identify expenditure at that level of detail. The table shows how much funding has been paid by the DfES to each of the relevant local bodies for the initiatives concerned.
3. The outturn 2002–03 captured the data in a fundamentally different way to the previous years. Categories were aligned with the Consistent Financial Reporting framework and the spending by LEAs was no longer split by school sector. Consequently the unit costs per pupil in 2002–03 are not strictly comparable with earlier years as they include an apportionment of LEA expenditure based on pupil numbers.
4. Net current expenditure (NCE) includes expenditure within schools and also that incurred centrally by the LEAs.
5. The NCE per pupil figures for pre-primary and primary relate the net current expenditure (after recharges) in the pre-primary sector and maintained primary schools to the total number of financial year pupils who are educated in the maintained nursery and primary schools sector.
6. The NCE per pupil figures for secondary relate the net current expenditure (after recharges) in the maintained secondary schools to the total number of financial year pupils who are educated in the maintained secondary schools sector.
7. Pupil data are drawn from the Annual Schools Census adjusted to be on a financial year basis.
