School Building
Mr. Hoban: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what indication he has given to local education authorities of the capital allocations available to schools that are not participating in Pathfinder or Phase 1 of Building Schools for the Future. [182510]
Mr. Ivan Lewis: All authorities and schools have now been given details of their allocation of capital for 2005–06, with the exception of the relatively small Targeted Capital Fund where we aim to make announcements in the autumn. We will also hope to announce details in the autumn of the major capital funding programmes for authorities and schools for the 2004 spending review period to 2007–08, in line with government policy to give authorities three-year certainty on 85 per cent. of their funding so that they can plan strategically to invest to achieve greater value for money.
Mr. Hoban: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills pursuant to the answer of 17 May 2004, Official Report, column 710W, on schools (capital investment), what the capital budget is for (a) the pathfinder phase and (b) wave one of Building Schools for the Future. [182515]
Mr. Ivan Lewis: There is not a separate budget for the pathfinder projects. They and the other projects announced in February are all part of wave one, due to start in 2005–06, and which has an overall budget of £2.2 million.
School Finance
Mr. Spring: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if he will list the 20 local authorities that received the lowest amount from public funds on average per child for the education of school age children in 2003–04. [181796]

Mr. Miliband: The information requested is contained within the following table:
| LEA | Total funding per pupil |
|---|---|
| Bath and North East Somerset | 3,310 |
| Cheshire | 3,310 |
| Derbyshire | 3,350 |
| Dorset | 3,320 |
| Dudley | 3,340 |
| East Riding of Yorkshire | 3,330 |
| Gloucestershire | 3,370 |
| Leicestershire | 3,200 |
| North Somerset | 3,360 |
| Nottinghamshire | 3,330 |
| Poole | 3,270 |
| Solihull | 3,370 |
| South Gloucestershire | 3,220 |
| Staffordshire | 3,260 |
| Stockport | 3,330 |
| Suffolk | 3,340 |
| Swindon | 3,380 |
| Warrington | 3,260 |
| Worcestershire | 3,270 |
| York | 3,270 |
Notes:
1. Figures reflect Education Formula Spending Share (EFSS) settlement (all sub-blocks). Total funding also includes all revenue grants in DfES Departmental Expenditure Limits relevant to EFSS pupils aged 3 to 15.
2. Education Formula Spending Shares give all local education authorities the same funding for equivalent pupils plus top-ups for deprivation, for the higher costs of recruiting and retaining staff in some areas, and for sparsity. DfES grants are mainly distributed to LEAs on a per pupil/per school basis with some weighting to take account of relative deprivation or low attainment where that reflects the grant objectives.
3. Figures exclude EMAs and grants not allocated at LEA level.
4. The pupil numbers used are those underlying the EFSS settlement calculations plus Pupil Level Annual School Censors 3-year-olds 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. 2003–04 figures are provisional as some grants have not yet been finalised/audited.
6. Per pupil figures are rounded to the nearest 10 so may not sum.
