Education (Stalybridge and Hyde)

James Purnell: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much public funding has been spent on higher education in Stalybridge and Hyde in each of the last seven years. [168752]

Alan Johnson: The only publicly funded institution providing higher education in Stalybridge and Hyde is Tameside college. The amounts of public funding spent in the years in which figures are available are shown in the following table. Expenditure was by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) and by the Student Loans Company (SLC). The latter relates only to spending on tuition fees, student loans (cash cost) and the dependants grant. Data prior to 1999–2000 are not available. The figures for student support do not include spending on other additional grants, namely, disabled students allowance, care leavers grant and travel grant. These were paid through local education authorities, up to 2003–04, and the figures are not held centrally.

Education (Oldham, West and Royton)

Mr. Meacher: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills (1) how much funding each school in Oldham, West and Royton has received from the New Deal for Schools; [170918]

(2) how much public funding has been spent on repairing schools in Oldham, West and Royton in each year since 1997. [170916]

Mr. Miliband: Table A shows schools in Oldham, West and Royton constituency that benefited from investment through the New Deals for Schools (NDS) programme, which ran between 1997–98 and 2000–01.

Since 2001, the majority of capital support has been allocated to schools and local education authorities by formula, and they decide how to invest it in line with their asset management plans. The Department does not, therefore, have complete information about capital investment at constituency level; this should be held locally. Table B sets out the capital support provided by the Department to Oldham local education authority and its schools since 1997–98, in total and by programme (including all allocations through NDS mentioned in table A).
