To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much funding his Department plans to allocate to East Sussex Local Education Authority for the Building Schools for the Future programme in the next phase of the programme. (138025)

East Sussex has projects prioritised in waves 10 to 15 of the Building Schools for the Future programme which may access funding from 2014-15, depending on future public spending decisions. No decisions have yet been made on funding for these projects. We aim to consult later this year on the management of waves seven onwards of the programme.

Because of its late prioritisation in the programme, East Sussex has been offered £30 million of One School Pathfinder funding to renew its neediest secondary school. This funding is available from this year.

Over the last three years (2005-06 until 2007-08), East Sussex and its schools have been allocated £55 million of capital support for investment in their buildings.
