Primary Education

Chris Ruane: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much was spent on primary education in each of the last 20 years; and what the planned expenditure is in each of the next five years. [93846]

Jim Knight: The available information is contained within the following table. The Department does not produce precise forecasts of future expenditure and we are therefore unable to provide the planned spend figures requested beyond 2005-06.

(1) Figures within departmental expenditure limits (DEL). Excludes DfES administration costs and expenditure on other areas than education, for instance on children and families and on skills. Figures for 1998-99 onwards are resource-based. Central Government figures for 1995-96 to 1997-98 are cash-based. (2) Differences between the totals above and the figures for primary education spending in HM Treasury’s PESA report are the result of (a) data coverage: the exclusion of AME items in the table, (b) definitional differences: departmental administration costs and Ofsted spending on education are both classified as education spending under UN Classification of Functions of Government (COFOG) international definitions—the table excludes these, (c) reclassifications made since Budget 2006 of Connexions spending to social protection and adult education spend to training in line with UN COFOG definitions. The next scheduled HMT National Statistics release in July will update education spending to take account of these reclassifications, (d) further minor data coverage and timing differences. (3) The recurrent local authority figures in this table are drawn from the local authority expenditure table (table 8.3 of the 2006 departmental report). The blank rows denote the changes from the Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions education revenue outturn return (the ‘RO1’) to section 52 outturn statements in 1999-2000 and arising from the review of the section 52 categories in 2002-03 following the introduction of consistent financial reporting to schools. Notes: 1. All figures have been converted to 2005-06 price levels using 27 September 2006 gross domestic product (GDP) deflators. 2. Includes expenditure on county, voluntary aided, special agreement, grant-maintained schools, city technology colleges and other specialist schools. Central Government funding on grant-maintained schools has been apportioned to under-fives, primary and secondary sectors using pupil numbers. 3. Figures from 2003-04 onwards reflect the transfer of responsibility from the Department to LEAs of costs relating to teachers’ pensions. 4. We only forecast expenditure figures for one year on from the outturn statements. Sources: 1997-98 to 2005-06 from the Education Select Committee table 1995-96 to 1996-97 from the November 2005 Education Bulletin 1993-94 to 1994-95 from the November 2004 Bulletin 1989-90 to 1992-93 from the departmental reports.

Pupil Funding

Chris Ruane: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the average funding per pupil was in real terms for (a) each local education authority and (b) constituency in each of the last 20 years. [93840]

Jim Knight: Figures are not available at constituency level, or for years prior to 1997-98 due to local government reorganisation.

The available information has been placed in the House Library.

School Buildings

Colin Challen: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what requirements for low and zero carbon buildings are made by the Building Schools for the Future programme. [92996]

Jim Knight: Energy targets for school projects within BSF are set within part L of the building regulations which require that buildings that are constructed to today’s standards are 40 per cent. more energy efficient (i.e. emit 40 per cent. less carbon through energy use) than those built five years ago.

Part L building regulations also require that renewable energy sources and other low carbon technologies are considered, and implemented where technically, practically and economically feasible. The regulations set an overall target for carbon emissions which implies that 10 per cent. of a building’s energy demand is met using renewable energy technologies—where renewable energy technologies are not adopted then the overall carbon reduction target must be met in other ways (e.g. through improved energy efficiency). Many planning authorities have also introduced a specific requirement for renewable energy which is typically set at 10 per cent. of predicted energy demand, and new schools must satisfy these local planning requirements.

School Grounds

Mr. Gibb: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what estimate he has made of the proportion of schools whose land includes at least the area designated as (a) sport pitches, (b) soft informal and social, (c) games courts (hard surfaced), (d) hard informal and social and (e) habitat area recommended by the briefing framework for secondary school projects. [95491]

Jim Knight: Data on areas of schools sport pitches, soft informal and social areas, games courts, hard informal and social areas and habitat areas are not held by the Department.

School Staff

Mr. Skinner: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many (a) teachers and (b) teaching assistants were employed in the East Midlands in (i) 2005-06 and (ii) each of the preceding five years. [96340]

Jim Knight: The following table provides the full-time equivalent number of teachers and teaching assistants employed in the maintained sector in the east midlands in each January from 2001 to 2006.

Full-time equivalent number of teachers and teaching assistants employed in maintained schools in the East Midlands in each January from 2001 to 2006

Note: Figures are rounded to the nearest 100. Sources:( 1) DfES annual survey of teachers in service and teacher vacancies, (618g). (2) Annual School Census.

Schools Budget

Mr. Gibb: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the schools budget of each local authority was for 2005-06; and what proportion was delegated to schools in each authority. [96423]

(1) Total schools budget is drawn from local authorities Section 52 Budget Statements (Table 1) submitted to the DfES. This is calculated as the gross elements of lines 1.0.1 to 1.1.2 and 1.6.1 to 1.6.5 plus the net elements of the remainder of the schools budget. (2) The total amount delegated to schools includes the individual schools budget for local authority maintained nursery, primary, secondary and special schools as well as any school standards grant, devolved standards fund, excellence in cities grant, devolved threshold and performance pay, transitional support grant and support for schools in financial difficulty devolved to those schools. (3) The figures above exclude any school standards grants for pupil referral units. (4) Cash figures are rounded to the nearest £1,000 and, therefore, may not sum due to rounding. Cash terms figures as reported by local authorities as at 19 October 2006.
