Mr. Hendrick: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much public funding was spent per pupil in Preston in each of the last seven years. [168134] Mr. Miliband: The information requested is submitted to the Department according to local education authority areas rather than districts within an area. Preston is a district of Lancashire local education authority. The information for Lancashire LEA is as follows: Net current expenditure per pupil _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Pre-Primary Primary Education Pre-primary and Secondary Education Special Education Primary 1996-97 n/a n/a 1,800 2,590 15,990 1997-98 n/a n/a 1,820 2,630 17,320 1998-99 n/a n/a 2,000 2,700 17,770 1999-00 7,130 2,110 2,170 2,760 18,490 2000-01 11,030 2,330 2,440 2,910 18,770 2001-02 16,390 2,630 2,800 3,230 20,600 2002-03 -- 2,900 -- 3,400 -- _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Notes: 1. The financial data are taken from Lancashire LEA's Section 52 Outturn Statement submitted to the DfES from 1999-2000 onwards and the ODPM's RO1 statement previously. Figures up to and including1997-98 figures are for Lancashire LEA prior to local government reorganisation. From 1998-99 onwards parts of Lancashire LEA became Blackpool and Blackburn LEAs. Expenditure was not distinguished between pre-primary and primary sectors until the inception of the Section52 outturn statement in 1999-2000. 1999-2000 figures reflect the return of GM schools to local authority maintenance. 2. The outturn 2002-03 tables captured the data in a fundamentally different way to the previous years. Categories were aligned with the Consistent Financial Reporting framework and the spending by LEAs was no longer split by school sector. Consequently the unit costs per pupil in 2002-03 are not strictly comparable with earlier years as they include an apportionment of LEA expenditure based on pupil numbers. 2002-03 data is subject to change by the LEA. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10. 3. Net current expenditure (NCE) includes expenditure within schools and also that incurred centrally by the LEA. 4. The NCE per pupil figures for pre-primary and primary relate the net current expenditure (after recharges) in the pre-primary sector and maintained primary schools to the total number of financial year pupils who are educated in the maintained nursery and primary schools sector. 5. The NCE per pupil figures for secondary relate the net current expenditure (after recharges) in maintained secondary schools to the total number of financial year pupils who are educated in the maintained secondary schools sector. 6. The NCE per pupil figures for special schools relate the net current expenditure (after recharges) in maintained special schools to the total number of financial year pupils who are educated in the maintained special schools sector. 7. Pupil data are drawn from the Annual Schools Census adjusted to be on a financial year basis.

Mr. Hendrick: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what public funds were spent on tackling drugs misuse in Preston in (a) 1997-98 and (b) 2003-04. [169696] Caroline Flint: Breakdown of financial allocation to local constituencies is not available to the Home Office. Funding is allocated to Drug Action Team (DAT) areas, in this case Lancashire DAT. In 1997-98 (pre-dating National Drugs Strategy) funding available to Lancashire DAT area totalled £670,000. In 2003-04 the total drugs allocation for Lancashire was £6,015,000. In order to ensure consistency figures supplied are based on funding streams associated with the National Drug Strategy and are readily verifiable. These funding streams are specifically targeted at tackling the harm caused to individuals, families and communities by the misuse of drugs. Other mainstream funding is made available at a local level, this varies and both in amount and origin as a result it is not possible to provide robust financial information. 2003-04 _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Mr. Hendrick: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills (1) if he will make a statement on the effects on schools of changes since 1997 in the level of investment in school sports in Preston; [168138] (2) how much money has been allocated to develop school sports in Preston since 1997. [168711] Mr. Stephen Twigg: This information is not held in the format requested. Within the context of the statutory National Curriculum, where Physical Education (PE) is compulsory for pupils aged 5-16, it is for individual schools to use their budgets as they judge appropriate. The Government are investing more than £1 billion in England to transform PE, school sport and club links. The funding will help deliver an ambitious Public Service Agreement target, shared with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, to increase the percentage of 5-16 year olds who spend a minimum of two hours each week on high quality PE and school sport within and beyond the curriculum to 75 per cent. by 2006. The Department is providing just over £440,000 to support the delivery of a School Sport Partnership in Lancashire LEA area. The partnerships includes five secondary and 21 primary schools and provides enhanced sports opportunities for all young people to ensure that their pupils spend a minimum of two hours a week on high quality PE and School Sport. A key objective for all School Sport Partnerships is to ensure that the improvements and enhanced opportunities that they deliver are sustainable and embedded within schools to ensure a lasting legacy. The New Opportunities Fund has provided schools in the Lancashire LEA area with nearly 12 million specifically to enhance PE and school sport facilities. Latest research, published by the Departments on 4 March 2004 shows that 68 per cent. of pupils in schools that have been in a Partnership for three years, are taking up the two hour entitlement, rising to 90 per cent. at Key Stage 3. Data has been collected from the remaining partnerships and will be published in April.
