Shona McIsaac: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much funding her Department has provided to (a) North East Lincolnshire local education authority and (b) North Lincolnshire local education authority in each year since 1997. [223467] Mr. Stephen Twigg: Total funding includes funding via education formula spending/standard spending assessment and revenue grants allocated at an LEA level. It excludes the pensions transfer to EPS and the Learning and Skills Council, and is in real terms. Education formula spending is part of the wider local government finance system and is supported by council tax as well as central Government grant.

Total funding also includes all revenue grants in DfES departmental expenditure limits relevant to pupils aged 3-15 and exclude EMAs and grants not allocated at LEA level. 4. The pupil numbers used to convert £ million figures to per pupil are those underlying the SSA/EFS settlement calculations plus PLASC 3-year-old maintained pupils and estimated 3 to 4-year- olds funded through state support in maintained and other educational institutions where these are not included in the SSA pupil numbers. 5.

Previously unspent allocations were excluded from the calculation of school balances but from 2003-04 onwards we are not able to split these out and as a result these figures for 1999-2000 to 2002-03 may differ from figures released previously by the department. 3 School level data has only been collected by the DfES since the inception of Section 52 in 1999-2000. 4 Figures for 1999-2000 to 2002-03 are for LEA maintained primary, secondary and special schools. 2003-04 figures also include those LEA maintained nursery schools with delegated budgets. 5 2003-04 data is still undergoing data cleaning and is therefore subject to charges by the LEA which may after the results for that period.
