[223882] Mr. Stephen Twigg: The information requested is collected at local education authority level. Crosby is part of Sefton LEA and the following table contains the information asked for: Funding (real terms) per pupil aged 3-19 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Funding per pupil (£ million) 1997-98 2,740 1998-99 2,810 1999-2000 2,930 2000-01 3,200 2001-02 3,360 2002-03 3,480 2003-04 3,640 2004-05 3,770 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Notes: 1. Price Base: real terms at 2003-04 prices, based on GDP deflators as at 30 September 2004. 2. Figures reflect relevant sub-blocks of education SSA/EFS settlements and exclude the pensions transfer to EFS and LSC. 3. Total funding also includes all revenue grants in DfES departmental expenditure limits relevant to pupils aged 3-19 and exclude EMAs and grants not allocated at LEA level. 4. The pupil numbers used to convert m figures to per pupil are those underlying the SSA/EFS settlement calculations plus PLASC three-year-old maintained pupils and estimated three to four-year-olds funded through state support in maintained and other educational institutions where these are not included in the SSA pupil numbers. 5. Rounding: figures are rounded to the nearest £10. 6. Status: 2003-04 and 2004-05 figures are provisional as some grants have yet to be finalised/audited.
