Schools (Buckingham)

Mr. Bercow: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many schools have operated four day weeks in the constituency of Buckingham in (a) 1999, (b) 2000 and (c) 2001. [22652]

Mr. Timms: My Department is not aware of any schools in the Buckingham constituency which have operated a four day week in the years in question.

Teachers (South Tyneside)

Mr. Hepburn: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many (a) primary and (b) secondary school teachers were working in South Tyneside local education authorities on 1 May; and what are the projected figures for 1 May 2002. [22665]

Mr. Timms: The information is not available for the dates requested. The full-time equivalent numbers of regular teachers in maintained nursery, primary and secondary schools in the South Tyneside local education authority in January 2001 were as follows:

	Number
Nursery and primary	675
Secondary	655

My Department does not project teacher numbers for individual local authorities.

Standards Fund

Mr. Kidney: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will list by local education authority in England the amount per pupil in (a) primary and (b) secondary education paid out of the Standards Fund in (i) 2000–01 and (ii) 2001–02 to date. [22682]

Mr. Timms: The following table shows allocations for the Standards Fund, shown as an amount per pupil, for 2000–01 and 2001–02, for each local education authority. The figures cannot be disaggregated between primary and secondary as most Standards Fund grants cover both phases and the precise distribution will be determined at local level. The figures include recurrent and capital Standards Fund grants excluding those that are specifically for nursery education, further education

and adult education. The Standards Fund includes Government grant and local authority contributions, which have both been included in the calculations.
