Building Schools for the Future Programme

Mr. Laws: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many Building Schools for the Future projects are (a) on time and (b) behind schedule; and if he will make a statement. [255261]

Jim Knight: The following table illustrates the delivery record for each school against the baseline targets for school openings that were agreed early in the programme. The baseline figures for school openings were agreed once the programme had started.

Baseline targets are different to the contractual dates that are agreed between local authorities and their

private sector partner at financial close. On this latter measure, all schools were delivered on time and on budget.

(1) These primary schools were delivered as part of Newcastle's BSF project through the Local Education Partnership, but were not originally included in the programme.

Mr. Laws: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what his estimate was on 1 April 2008 of capital expenditure on schools in (a) 2008-09 and (b) 2009-10 for (i) Building Schools for the Future and (ii) all other schools capital spending; what his latest estimate is of the likely outturns for 2008-09 and 2009-10; and if he will make a statement. [255269]


5 Mar 2009 : Column 1821W

Jim Knight: The following table sets out the Department’s forecast capital spend at the start of the current financial year, compared with the current forecast, for 2008-09 and 2009-10. The change in 2009-10 is mainly due to
5 Mar 2009 : Column 1822W
the Government’s fiscal stimulus plans, where about £0.8 billion is being brought forward. As these are forecasts, they are subject to change.

Notes:
1. The table excludes PFI credits of around £1.3 billion available each year, as the funding to support these is provided to local authorities as revenue from the Department of Communities and Local Government.
2. The increase in the 2009-10 forecast spend from £6.3 billion to £7.1 billion includes £0.8 billion to be advanced from 2010-11 to 2009-10.
