§ Mr. CollinsTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much school funding(a) in 2003–04 was and (b) is planned for 2004–05 will be provided from (i) central Government and (ii) council tax revenue, broken down by local education authority. [171083]
§ Mr. MilibandThe Government does not fund local education authorities for school funding separately. Rather, they receive an amount of revenue support grant which provides revenue support for all their services. The amount of council tax revenue is a matter for local education authorities to decide.
