The Department maintains central records of capital allocations to local authorities and schools in England since 1996-97. Detailed records are not available before this date. Allocations by local authority area, and by year since 1996-97, are summarised in the following tables, in £000. The Department does not maintain records on a constituency basis.
Capital allocations to local authorities in each year represent a financial commitment by the Department to provide resources. Capital expenditure on school buildings in each year will, due to timing differences and priorities agreed locally, differ from this. The local authority may have access to additional funding, including borrowing and proceeds from the sale of assets, which it may use to invest in school capital assets.
