Answer: Adam Price: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much state support has been awarded to the Emmanuel Foundation; and what projects of the Foundation (a) have received financial backing from the Department and (b) the Government are committed to funding. [184963] Mr. Miliband: No funds are paid to the Emmanuel Schools Foundation direct in the case of the Academies programme. Capital and recurrent funding is paid to the governing body of each school. Capital funding of £21,604,359 has been awarded to King's Academy, £23,645,530 to Trinity Academy and £8,512,945 to Emmanuel College, giving a total of £53,762,834. In addition we pay recurrent funding to each school which is comparable to funding for other maintained schools. For 2004-05 the amount of recurrent funding for Emmanuel College is £5,472,000 and for King's Academy is £5,032,367. Apart from, as yet, undetermined recurrent costs for Trinity Academy, when it opens in 2005, we have no other funding commitments at this time.
