13 Nov 2007 : Column 162W—continued

The revenue figures shown in the following table are taken from the Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) which was introduced in April 2006. They are not comparable with those for the years 2003-04 to 2005-06 because the introduction of the DSG in 2006-07 fundamentally changed how local authorities are funded.

The DSG is based largely on an authority's previous spending. The 2003-04 to 2005-06 figures are based on Education Formula Spending (EFS) which formed the education part of the Local Government Finance Settlement, plus various grants. This was an assessment of what local authorities needed to fund education rather than what they spent. Consequently, there is a break in the Department's time series as the two sets of data are not comparable. An alternative time series is currently under development.

The revenue funding figures available to schools in each of the London boroughs for years 2006-07 to 2007-08 are as follows:

Notes: 1. Price base: cash. 2. Figures exclude capital funding. 3. Where responsibility for funding a school has transferred from an authority, related funding no longer appears in the series. 4. Rounding: figures are rounded to the nearest £0.1 million. 5. Status: some of the grant allocations have not been finalised. If these do change, the effect on the funding figures is expected to be minimal.

Mr. Laws: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families if he will make a statement on his latest plans to claw back five per cent. of school year-end surpluses; and if he will publish the responses to the public consultation on the issue. [163185]

Jim Knight: On 30 October I announced the Government's decisions following the consultation. I refer the hon. Member to the written ministerial statement of that date, Official Report, column 29WS.

The Department for Children, Schools and Families will be producing a report on the consultation in due course.

Mr. Laws: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how much of the schools budget was retained centrally by each local authority in (a) cash terms and (b) as a percentage of the total schools budget in the most recent year for which figures are available; and if he will make a statement. [164015]

(1) Total schools budget figures are drawn from local authorities Section 52 Budget Statements submitted to the DCSF (formally DfES). This is calculated as the gross elements of any grants plus the net elements of the remainder of the schools budget. (2) Within the schools budget, the individual schools budget as well as any grants devolved to schools are treated as delegated to schools with the remainder of the schools budget controlled centrally by the local authority on behalf of its schools. (3) 2007-08 data are subject to change by the local authority. (4) Cash figures are rounded to the nearest £1,000 and may not sum due to rounding. Note: Cash terms figures as reported by local authorities as at 9 November 2007.
