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.

Figures reflect relevant sub-blocks of education SSA/EFS settlements and exclude the pensions transfer to EPS and LSC. 3. 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. Where responsibility for funding a school has transferred from an LEA, related funding no longer appears in the series. 6. Rounding: Figures are rounded to the nearest £10. 7.
