To ask the Secretary of State for Education what proportion of his Department's maintenance budget was unspent in (a) 2010-11, (b) 2011-12 and (c) 2012-13.
- Answer
-
The Department's capital maintenance budget is either devolved to local authorities and schools for local prioritisation or allocated through a bidding process to specific projects put forward by academies and sixth form colleges.
In 2010-11, there was no underspend against the capital maintenance budget of £1 billion. In 2011-12, against the capital maintenance budget of £1.4 billion there was an underspend of £211,645. For 2012-13, against the capital maintenance budget of £1.4 billion there was an underspend of £356,413. These underspends were the result of slippage in the delivery of a small number of sixth form college maintenance projects.
