Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the annual budget of (a) Bournemouth local education authority and (b) Middlesbrough local education authority was in each year since 1997; and if she will make a statement.

Answer

The figures requested are set out in the following table. We do not hold comparable figures prior to 1999–2000.

The Education (Budget Statements) (England) RegulationsTotal budgeted education revenue expenditure by Bournemouth and Middlesbrough local authorities since 1999–2000 Cash terms figures as reported by local authorities as at 23 January 2006
	Budgeted education revenue expenditure (£)
	Bournemouth	Middlesbrough
1999–2000	56,548,000	67,420,000
2000–01	63,138,000	72,112,000
2001–02	67,582,000	80,978,000
2002–03	71,647,000	85,643,000
2003–04	76,987,000	86,853,000
2004–05	82,032,000	88,898,000
2005–06	86,880,000	94,898,000
1. Budgeted education revenue expenditure is drawn from local authorities' Section 52 Budget Statements submitted to the DfES. This is calculated as the gross elements of any grants lines plus the net elements of the remainder of the education revenue budget. 2. Cash figures are rounded to the nearest £1,000.

The figures for Middlesbrough are affected by some pupils in the area attending academies rather than maintained schools.
