Mrs. Calton: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what steps are being taken to ensure that teachers who take home
school/LEA IT equipment for their work do not have to insure such equipment with their own private home and contents policies.
[68204]
Mr. Miliband: The Government have no plans to legislate on the insurance of IT equipment owned by schools or LEAs. In cases where
there is an understanding that a teacher uses such equipment at home for professional purposes, we would not expect him or her to
have to cover loss or accidental damage to the equipment while at home or travelling to and from work.

Mrs. Calton: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills when the rules governing school sponsorship were last reviewed.
[67338]
Mr. Miliband: The rules governing specialist school sponsorship were last reviewed in May this year. As a result, we made one
significant change to the criteria by reducing the amount of sponsorship required by small mainstream schools (defined as those with
under 500 pupils on roll) to £100 per pupil, subject to a minimum of £20,000, rising to £50,000 for a school with 500 pupils.

Mrs. Calton: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills for what reason schools cannot count funds raised by the school
in their bids for specialist school status. [67477]
Mr. Miliband: The guiding principles governing the eligibility of specialist school sponsorship are that it must be raised for the
purpose of the application and be from a private sector source. Sponsorship from privately sourced school foundations and from
parent teacher associations is acceptable. Where the school raises money by use of a public asset, such as the school's own
premises, the funds are not eligible.

Mrs. Calton: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what ring fenced grants were made available to local authorities
in financial year 2001-02. [68290]
Mr. Miliband: The following table shows the Department's ring-fenced grants made available to local education authorities in
2001-02. These are specific grants ring-fenced for specific purpose or activities or special grants paid under section 88B of the
Local Government Finance Act 1988.

Standards Fund 1,583,000
School Standards Grant 631,307
Education Budget Support Grant 52,394
Teachers Pay Grants 479,275
Nursery Education Grant 184,000
Education Maintenance Allowance 98,000

Capital Grants 704,000
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Note: Figures are in cash terms.
The Government have simplified the operation of the Standards Fund, by far the largest specific grant for education. Since April
2001, schools have had more freedom to move funds between the different Standards Fund activities; separate auditing of the
Standards Fund is no longer required; and the spending period for the Standards Fund was extended from 12 months to 17 months to
give schools even more flexibility in planning expenditure. The School Standards Grant offers further freedom to schools.

schools education. [64426]
Mr. Miliband:We will be consulting on proposals for a new system of school and LEA funding over the summer, starting by mid-July. We
aim to create a simpler, more transparent and fairer formula that reflects fairly, on the basis of up-to-date evidence, the needs of
authorities in different parts of the country.
