To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many and what percentage of pupils in Stalybridge and Hyde reached the(a) mathematics and (b) English standard in each of the last seven years. [168754]

Mr. Miliband

The information requested is as follows:

Since 2001, the majority of capital support has been allocated to schools and local education authorities by formula, and they decide how to invest it in line with their asset management plans. The Department does not, therefore, have complete information about capital investment at constituency level; this should be held locally. Table B sets out the capital support provided by the Department to Oldham local education authority and its schools since 1997–98, in total and by programme (including all allocations through NDS mentioned in table A).
