Physical Education: Facilities
Mr. Don Foster: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how much his Department spent on capital expenditure on physical educational facilities in schools in (a) 2007-08 and (b) 2008-09; and what recent estimate he has made of such capital expenditure in (i) 2009-10 and (ii) 2011-12. [275189]
Jim Knight: The Department relies on local authorities and schools to decide how much capital should be spent on physical educational facilities, and does not maintain central records of expenditure incurred or planned during the period 2007-08 to 2010-11. No financial commitment has been made by the Department beyond 31 March 2011.
In February 2008, the Secretary of State announced a capital programme to improve facilities for PE and sport at the most needy sports colleges. £10 million was allocated to sports colleges in 2008-09 and £21.5 million in 2009-10.

Pupils
Mr. Frank Field: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what guidance his Department provides to local authorities on the likely effects on school roll projections of changes in levels of immigration. [275999]
Sarah McCarthy-Fry: The Department does not provide guidance to local authorities on the likely effects on school roll projections of changes in levels of immigration. This is for authorities to determine, based on their knowledge of local demographics.
Schools: Closures
Mr. Laws: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many (a) primary and (b) secondary schools he expects to close in each local authority area in each of the next three years; and if he will make a statement. [275095]
Jim Knight: School place planning is the statutory responsibility of individual local authorities (LAs). This includes making sure there are sufficient school places, and also removing surplus places when required. To facilitate this LAs have the power to propose the closure of maintained schools.
Where LAs propose to make any changes to local school provision, including closures, they must follow a statutory process, which is then decided under established local decision making arrangements. Ministers have no direct roll in the process.
Schools: Expenditure
Michael Gove: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what individual programmes and corresponding allocations are aggregated as other miscellaneous programmes for the year 2010-11 in the Schools section of Table 8.3 of his Department's 2008 Annual Report. [274273]
