The information requested is shown in the table. No conclusions should, however, be drawn from a comparison of annual capital guidelines received by an LEA in any two years. Our distribution of annual capital guidelines is made on the basis of the consistent application of objective criteria and each LEA's annual capital guidelines reflects the extent to which its plans for spending on schools and colleges match these criteria in the year in question.
