Mr. Miliband: The information requested is submitted to the Department according to local education authority areas rather than districts within an area. Oldham West and Royton is a district of Oldham local education authority. The information for Oldham LEA is as follows:
Net current expenditure per pupil

	Pre-Primary Education	Primary Education	Pre-primary and Primary	Secondary Education	Special
1996–97	n/a	n/a	1,890	2,510	11,540
1997–98	n/a	n/a	1,910	2,530	12,150
1998–99	n/a	n/a	2,080	2,730	14,130
1999–2000	0	2,260	2,330	2,820	16,470
2000–01	0	2,400	2,500	3,050	17,630
2001–02	0	2,690	2,840	3,430	19,210
2002–03	—	2,940	—	3,780	—

Notes:
1. The financial data are taken from Oldham LEA'S Section 52 Outturn Statement submitted to the DfES from 1999–2000 onwards and the ODPM's RO1 statement previously. Expenditure was not distinguished between pre-primary and primary sectors until the inception of the Section 52 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. Djanogly: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much public funding was spent, per pupil, in the Huntingdon constituency in each of the last seven years. [170838]

Mr. Miliband: The information requested is submitted to the Department according to local education authority areas rather than districts within an area. Huntingdon is a district of Cambridgeshire local education authority. The information for Cambridgeshire LEA is as follows:
Net current expenditure per pupil

1996–97	n/a	n/a	1,940	2,740	14,080
1997–98	n/a	n/a	1,910	2,740	15,210
1998–99	n/a	n/a	2,040	2,750	16,680
1999–2000	14,360	2,080	2,160	2,720	17,240
2000–01	20,900	2,290	2,400	2,930	18,850
2001–02	21,020	2,490	2,600	3,150	20,430
2002–03	—	2,850	—	3,500	—

Notes:
1. The financial data are taken from Cambridgeshire 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 including 1997–98 are for Cambridgeshire LEA prior to local government reorganisation. From 1998–99 part of Cambridgeshire LEA became Peterborough LEA. Expenditure was not distinguished between pre-primary and primary sectors until the inception of the Section 52 Outturn Statement in 1999–2000. 1999–2000 figures reflect the return of GM schools to local authority maintenance.
