Answer: Mr. Brake: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will make a statement on the effect of the 1999-2000 revenue support grant on the provision of educational services in the London borough of Sutton. [68908] Ms Estelle Morris: Education services in Sutton should benefit from the underlying increase of £4.6 million or 6.2 per cent. in Sutton's education standard spending assessment for 1999-2000. These figures illustrate the effect of allowing for local authority changes of function and taking account of new arrangements for funding music and student support.
