Mr. Fallon : We have received representations from six local education authorities about urgent building work at schools since our announcement last December of the distribution of annual capital guidelines to LEAs and the voluntary-aided grant allocations for 1992-93.

It is for LEAs to ensure that their schools are in a satisfactory condition. They do not need our approval to undertake building work they judge necessary.

Margaret Ward RC High School

Ms. Walley : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will reconsider the case of building work approved for St. Margaret Ward RC high school, Stoke-on-Trent.

Mr. Fallon : Grant for capital expenditure and repairs at voluntary- aided schools for 1992-93 will increase by 15 per cent., compared with the current year, to £151 million. However, it is not possible to provide grant for all the projects submitted by local education authorities. Whilst my right hon. and learned Friend cannot reconsider his decision, it is open to Staffordshire county council to submit the project again next year.

Stratford School

Mr. Leighton : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what was the (a) pupil roll, (b) cost per pupil and (c) annual maintenance grant at Stratford school in each month since April 1990.

Mr. Eggar : The school began to receive annual maintenance grant (AMG) only on being incorporated as grant maintained on 1 April 1991 : it was funded until that date by Newham local education authority. The school's total AMG for the period 1 April 1991 to 31 March 1992, which has been paid in 12 instalments, £1,533,311. There were 574 pupils registered at the school in January 1992 as recorded on its annual departmental return : we do not collect monthly pupil data. The school's total AMG divided by 574 pupils produces a per pupil figure of £2,671.

Performance Levels

Ms. Walley : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations he has received concerning the testing of performance levels of children with special education needs.

Mr. Eggar : The Government's objective is that the national curriculum testing arrangements should be accessible to pupils with special educational needs. My right hon. and learned Friend and I receive many helpful representations from parents and teachers about how this objective can be met.

GCSE

Mrs. Ann Winterton : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many letters he has recently received from (a) right hon. and hon. Members and (b) members of the public about GCSE coursework.

Mr. Eggar : My right hon. and learned Friend has received 740 letters from Members of Parliament and 2,110 letters from members of the public about GCSE coursework.


Column 696

Mrs. Ann Winterton : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what recent representations he has received from (a) the National Association for the Teaching of English, (b) the Northern Examining Association, (c) the Joint Matriculation Board, (d) the National Association of Advisers in English and (e) the joint council for the GCSE, about GCSE coursework ; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eggar : My right hon. and learned Friend has received various representations from all but the Joint Matriculation Board about GSCE coursework. He is convinced that limits on coursework are needed in order to maintain public credibility in the GCSE, and is satisfied that the limits which he has set will secure that confidence whilst giving sufficient scope for the innovative assessment techniques facilitated by coursework.

Mrs. Ann Winterton : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement giving details of the evidence which he has considered in reaching his conclusion that changes should be made to GCSE coursework.

Mr. Eggar : My decision to limit the coursework element of the GCSE in order to maintain public confidence in that qualification was taken in the light of advice from the School Examinations and Assessment Council (SEAC) and based on evidence in the HMI report "The Introduction of the GCSE in Schools 1986-88", the SEAC report "Examining GCSE : First General Scrutiny Report" and the "Report of the Independent Appeals Authority for School Examinations". All three reports stressed the difficulty of ensuring standardising marking and adequate moderation in coursework. The first also drew attention to the unfairness caused by coursework not being conducted under uniform conditions.

Barnet

Mr. John Marshall : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many out of borough pupils have been educated at Barnet schools during each of the last five years.

Mr. Fallon : The information requested is as follows :

Pupil Expenditure

Mr. Steinberg : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how much was spent per pupil in (a) primary, (b) secondary and (c) special schools in Durham in each year since 1981.

Mr. Fallon : School based spending per pupil in nursery and primary schools, secondary schools and special schools in Durham is shown in the table. The figures show spending from 1980-81 until 1989-90, the latest year for which actual expenditure figures are available.

Notes:                                                      

1. School based spending covers the direct costs in schools 

of salaries                                                 

and wages, premises and certain supplies and services. It   

does not                                                    

include the costs of school meals, home to school transport,

 LEA                                                        

central administration, and financing costs of capital      

expenditure.                                                

2. The figures in the table are derived from Durham local   

education                                                   

authority's returns of its spending to the Department of    

the                                                         

Environment and of its pupil numbers to the Department of   

Education and Science.                                      

3. Spending on nursery and primary schools was not          

collected                                                   

separately for years after 1986-87, so the figures for the  

years shown                                                 

in the table cover both nursery and primary schools.        

Local Education Authority Property

Mr. Hunter : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will place in the Library a specimen agreement of a type he has approved between a college of further education and a local education authority regarding the college's leasing of local education authority property.

Mr. Eggar : The agreements that have been approved to date have been specific to the particular case. We expect governing bodies and local education authorities, in agreeing arrangements, to cover the following : the length of time the college is to remain on the site concerned ; the nature of the occupancy--eg. lease or licence ; whether any rent is to be paid ; the responsibility for repairs and other outgoings ; and the terms for cessation of the occupancy.

Nursery Education

Mr. Wareing : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish a list of nursery school provision by local education authorities in England and Wales.

Mr. Eggar : I have arranged that details of nursery provision for each local education authority in England for January 1991 will be published shortly. Details of nursery provision as at January 1990 were published last year in the DES "Statistical Bulletin 7/91", copies of which are available in the Library

Nursery provision in Wales is the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales.

After-school Clubs

Mr. McCartney : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what proposals he has to fund after-school clubs in primary schools in Wigan local education authority.

Mr. Eggar : My hon. Friend the Member for Surrey, South-West (Mrs. Bottomley) announced on 1 March the Government's intention to expand child care for school


Column 698

age children. The Government plan, through Department of Health programmes, to support a number of new development posts in voluntary organisations, which will work with schools and others to pilot the development of innovative schemes.

It is important that local education authorities and schools should play their part in the development of out of hours care schemes, and we have encouraged schools to respond accordingly by opening up their premises to meet local needs.

Technology Schools

Mr. Spearing : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) if he will state the total number of individual applications he received for his technology schools initiative, the number successful and unsuccessful, and of the latter the number he regarded as being of a satisfactory standard and the additional cost to his allocated £25 million of agreeing to those applications, together with the criteria he adopted to distinguish the categories of application referred to in the ministerial speech made at Shenley Wood school on 14 February ;

(2) on what date and in what manner he informed all local education authorities of his schools technology initiative ; what criteria he laid down for applications ; what maximum costs in capital and revenue were indicated ; and what account was taken of existing provision in maintained schools in the authorities containing successful applicants ;

(3) if he will state the number of local education authorities making applications in respect of the technology schools initiative together with the number of authorities gaining all, some, or none of their applications, respectively, and the names of those authorities whose applications were satisfactory but unsuccessful.

Mr. Eggar : On 5 December 1991 chief education officers of local education authorities (LEAs) in England were invited in writing to submit up to two projects for funding under the technology schools initiative (TSI). The letter explained that proposals were to be normally for projects in the region of £250,000, although consideration would exceptionally be given to projects costing up to a maximum of £500,000. Priority would be given to bids from schools committed to making good technology provision whatever their existing level of resources. Amongst the factors stated which would be taken into account in assessing bids were :

(i) the track record of the school in technology including its use of the technical and vocational education initiative ; clear evidence of a commitment to the development of teaching in technology, including plans to develop vocational courses at 14 to 16 and for older pupils ;

(ii) Existing links with industry--where they are demonstrably effective, including the availability of industrial or business funding to match grant ; or resources from within the schools budget ;

(iii) Existing skills of the school's teaching staff and their enthusiasm for the project ; and evidence of high quality school management.

Eighty-nine LEAs submitted proposals in respect of 164 schools. In addition, 30 schools submitted projects directly to the Department. In the face of intense competition, the most worthy projects at 62 schools in 50 LEAs have been approved up to a total of £15 million : 12 LEAs received approval for two bids ; 38 LEAs received


Column 699

approval for one bid and 39 LEAs were unsuccessful. The remaining £10 million was allocated for projects at VA and GM schools.

Grant-maintained Schools

Mr. Jacques Arnold : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on the schools in Gravesham which have opted to become grant-maintained schools.

Mr. Eggar : There are two schools in Gravesham operating as GM and a third has recently been approved to become GM in September. The total number of schools operating or approved for GM status in Kent is now 26. I am delighted that so many schools in this area will enjoy the benefits of grant-maintained status.

Mr. John Marshall : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many pupils applied to go to Hendon grant-maintained school in the years beginning September 1991 and September 1992 ; and what was the corresponding number of applicants in 1987.

Mr. Eggar : The Department does not collect centrally information on applications for admissions to grant-maintained schools. However, I understand from Hendon school that it has received 386 applications for admission in September 1992. At this time last year the school had 308 applications for admission to the school in September 1991. The corresponding number in March 1987 was 110.

Student Grants

Mr. Thurnham : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether in assessing borrowers' claims for deferment, the Student Loans Company will disregard income from disability living allowance and disability working allowance when those benefits are introduced.

Mr. Alan Howarth : Yes. We have today laid before Parliament regulations amending the Education (Student Loans) Regulations 1991 to ensure that these allowances are fully taken into account.

Mr. Thurnham : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will arrange for the booklet "Student Grants and Loans--a brief guide" to be published in braille.

Mr. Alan Howarth : I am delighted that the Royal National Institute for the Blind has produced, at my Department's expense, a braille edition of the booklet. I have placed a copy in the Library. The Royal National Institute for the Blind's Peterborough office (PO Box 173, Peterborough PE2 0WS) will make further copies available on request.

Student Fees

Mr. Matthew Taylor : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is his estimate of the cost of extending an entitlement to student fees to part-time students on first degree courses, assuming a maximum fee entitlement of £750 and that all such students would be eligible for fees support.

Mr. Alan Howarth [holding answer 10 March 1992] : Approximately £87 million, with some 115,000 students


Column 700

--the number of part-time first degree students in England and Wales in 1990, including Open university students, and representing some 29 per cent. of the 401,000 part-time students in higher education that year. This assumes that all students are personally eligible for support.

WALES

Local Government Reform

Mr. John P. Smith : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if the Vale of Glamorgan is to be one of the unitary authorities in Wales under his recently announced proposals for local government reform.

Mr. David Hunt : Yes, the Vale of Glamorgan is one of the 23 authorities listed in my proposals.

Mr. John P. Smith : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will give the reasons why the boundaries of the Vale of Glamorgan were not specified in his recently announced proposals for local government reform in Wales ; and how he intends to determine them.

Mr. David Hunt : The boundaries of the Vale of Glamorgan were marked with dotted lines on the map illustrating my proposals so that I can listen to any further representations on their precise locations.

Local Government Expenditure

Mr. Dewar : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish a table, covering the years 1986-87 and consistent with Cm 1916, showing by sub-programme (a) total local authority expenditure in Wales, (b) local authority expenditure in Wales on services for which he has policy responsibility and (c) an analysis of the differences between (a) and (b).

Mr. David Hunt : Consistent with appendix 3 of Cm 1916, the information is as follows :

Local Government Expenditure

Mr. Dewar : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish a table analysing the data in appendix 1 of Cm 1916, showing separately for each line for the years 1986-87 to 1994-95, (a) expenditure within the Welsh block and (b) other expenditure.

Mr. David Hunt : The Welsh block comprises all Welsh Office programmes apart from agriculture, industry and nationalised industries. With the exception of local authority unhypothecated current grants and credit approvals, expenditure is identified on a programme basis in appendix 1 of Cm 1916. The unhypothecated current grants cannot be allocated to specific programmes. The breakdown of credit approvals between block and other programmes is as follows :

Mr. Dewar : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish the latest figures available, stating whether

they are final outturns, provisional outturns or budget figures, for 1988-89 to 1991-92 on the statistical basis of table 1.1 (summary of revenue expenditure and income), table 1.2 (summary of capital expenditure and income), table 1.3 (revenue accounts outturn summary), table 1.4 (capital accounts outturn summary) and table 2.3 (revenue account summary) of Welsh local government financial statistics.

Mr. David Hunt : The tables to which the hon. Gentleman refers are based on final outturn information received from local authorities. Outturn figures for 1988-89 and 1989-90 have already been published in Welsh Local Government Financial Statistics volume 14 1990 and volume 15 1991 for these years respectively. Outturn figures for later years are not yet available. Provisional or budget based figures are not available centrally at this level of detail for all accounts.

Mr. Dewar : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish a reconciliation between (a) the local authority expenditure and its financing figures contained in figures 1.03 and 1.04 and appendices 1 and 3 of Cm 1916 and (b) the figures announced in the latest revenue support grant and other settlements.

Mr. David Hunt : Within the aggregate external finance package of £2,352 million for 1992-93 the revenue support grant--RSG--element is £1,621 million, the distributable amount from the non-domestic rating- -NDR--account is £536 million and the allocation for revenue specific grants is £195 million.

The Welsh revenue support grant report 1992-93 (revised) (HC 247), approved by the House on 12 February, set out my decisions on the level of RSG and NDR for 1992-93. The RSG total includes the additional resources of £3.5 million that I am making available in recognition of the school teachers' review body recommendations. This additional sum was announced too late to be included in Cm 1916. Appendix 1 of Cm 1916 refers therefore to my original proposal for an RSG allocation of £1,617 million and provides details of the NDR distributable amount and other revenue grants to local authorities for 1992-93.

The unhypothecated support to local authorities for 1992-93 of £2, 230 million in figure 1.03 of Cm 1916 includes my original proposals for RSG and the distributable amount of NDR together with the other grants itemised in the table.

Mr. Dewar : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish tables, covering the years 1986-87 to 1994-95 and consistent with Cm 1916, analysing (a) the Welsh block by economic category within spending sector and (b) the Welsh programme by economic category within spending sector.
