HC Deb 06 May 2004 vol 420 cc1768-71W
Mr. Djanogly

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills (1) how much funding each school in the Huntingdon constituency received from the New Deal for Schools; [170845]

(2) how much money has been invested in the Huntingdon constituency since 1997 to build long-term sustainable facilities for school sports. [170839]

Mr. Miliband

Table A shows the schools in the Huntingdon constituency that benefited from investment through the New Deal for Schools (NDS) programme, which ran between 1997–98 and 2000–01.

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 Cambridgeshire Local Education Authority and its schools since 1997–98, in total and by programme (including all allocations through NDS mentioned in table A).

2. Where the project includes a package for a number of schools, each school received a share of the funding available.
