the percentage of children classed as deprived using the index of multiple deprivation who do not attend school. [13640]

Jacqui Smith: None. Information is not centrally available on pupil attendance classified by the Index of Multiple Deprivation.

Drinking Water

Joan Walley: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills (1) what assessment her Department has made of the health benefits to pupils and staff of providing fresh drinking water throughout the school day; [13679]

(2) what steps her Department takes (a) to inform local education authorities, (b) governors and (c) schools of their responsibility for the provision of fresh drinking water to children and staff throughout the school day; [13680]

(3) what assessment she has made of the increased requirement for access to fresh drinking water for pupils arising from the extension of the school day from eight to six o'clock. [13683]

Jacqui Smith: We are aware of the importance of school children drinking water during their working day and the benefits that it brings. For the last three years both the Department of Health and Department for Education and Skills have been working on a food in schools programme that aims to help schools implement a whole school approach to food education and healthy eating. The interactive food in schools toolkit which can be viewed at www.foodinschools.org, provides a wide range of guidance, resources and interactive tools to inspire and support schools in taking a whole school approach to healthy eating and drinking, including water provision.

The water provision" guidance supports schools in reviewing and improving current provision and in promoting water consumption. The guidance has been informed by the food in schools water provision project, which was piloted in 40 schools in the North East and East Midland region.

Cross Government working between the DfES, Department of Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), Department of Health (DoH) and the Food Standards Agency (FSA), on ways to increase awareness of the importance of food and drink within the school environment resulted in the publication on 6 September 2004 of the Healthy Living Blueprint for Schools".

The blueprint, issued to all schools, brings together all Government advice and examples of best practice about healthy eating and drinking in schools. It provides schools with advice on what they can do to improve children's approach to food and drink and exercise, and shows how developing whole school approaches can help bring about significant improvements to the health of children.

Healthy School Lunches Guidance", published by the DfES, contains the Secretary of State's expectation that drinking water should be available to all pupils

every day, free of charge. This view is mirrored in the Healthy Living Blueprint for Schools", which states that,

all pupils should have access to drinking water at all times at a number of points around the school, preferably not from taps in the toilets. Pupils should be permitted to carry water with them and consumption encouraged both in class and during break and lunch time".

However, it is the responsibility of head teachers and school's governing bodies to decide when water should be made available. We consider that they are best placed to make these decisions in their role of having responsibility of the day-to-day running of the school and with their knowledge of the individual circumstances of their pupils.

Joan Walley: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what steps her Department plans to take to ensure that local education authorities and individual schools raise the standard of their drinking water facilities. [13681]

Jacqui Smith: We have already issued design guidance for new school buildings in the May 2003 revision of Building Bulletin 87 Guidelines for Environmental Design in Schools", which can be downloaded from www.teachernet.gov.uk/energy. We are also producing a joint publication on Sustainable Water Management in Schools with the Environment Agency and DEFRA to be published in October 2005. Finally we will be revising the School Premises Regulations to give more specific guidance on drinking water.

Joan Walley: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what additional funding is available to schools unable to refurbish or upgrade drinking water facilities due to lack of resources. [13682]

Jacqui Smith: We allocate capital funding directly to local authorities and schools and do not hold back reserves to respond to requests for individual projects. We expect local authorities to prioritise expenditure in their locally prepared asset management plans, which should be drawn up in consultation with their schools and local partners. In addition, schools are allocated their own Devolved Formula Capital which can be spent on upgrading water facilities, if that is their priority.

Stoke-on-Trent local authority and its schools have so far been allocated £33.2 million capital funding in the three years 2003–04 to 2005–06. Within this figure, Devolved Formula Capital of £11.1 million has been allocated directly to schools.

Education Funding

Mr. Michael Foster: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the total recurrent funding per pupil was for each local education authority for years 1998–99 to 2005–06 in 2005–06 real terms. [11829]

Jacqui Smith: Total funding includes funding via education formula spending (EPS)/standard spending assessment and revenue grants allocated at an LEA level. It excludes the pensions transfer to EFS and the Learning and Skills Council, and is in real terms.

These figures use the latest GDP deflators provided by the Office for National Statistics as at 30 June 2005, which are based on 2004–05 prices.

⁽¹⁶⁾Pensions not included 2003–04 to 2005–06.
Notes:
1.Price Base: Real terms.
2.Figures reflect relevant sub-blocks of the education formula spending settlement and exclude the pensions transfer to EFS.
3.Total funding also includes all revenue grants in DfES departmental expenditure limits relevant to pupils aged 3–19, and exclude EMAs and grants not allocated at LEA level. For those LEAs in receipt of advance of grant under the transitional support arrangements for 2004–05, advance grant funding is included in the year of payment (2004–05). There will be a consequential reduction in DfES grant for these LEAs in future years (either 2006–07 and 2007–08 or 2006–07 to 2008–09, depending on the terms on which the advance was given to the LEA).
4.The pupil numbers used to convert m figures to per pupil are those underlying the SSA/EFS settlement calculations plus PLASC 3-year-old 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.Rounding: Per pupil figures are rounded to the nearest £10. Total allocation figures are rounded to the nearest £10 million.
6.Status: 2003–04 to 2005–06 figures are provisional as some grants have not yet been finalised/audited.

Jacqui Smith: Education is funded on a local authority basis, not by Growth Area. The table shows the amounts allocated for education since 2002–03 for
