To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what the expenditure on the Building Schools for the Future programme was (a) in each local authority area and (b) on each school covered by the project in 2006-07; what estimate he has made of the equivalent figures for 2007-08 to 2021-22; and if he will make a statement. (163437)

Details of actual capital expenditure at local authority and school level are not held centrally by the Department. However, the following table shows the capital grant payments, and supported borrowing allocations, that were made in 2006-07 to local authorities, together with the current forecasts for 2007-08 (these phased payments do not represent the full allocations):

The Department, together with Partnerships for Schools, will be reviewing the phasing of grant payments for 2008-09, and for later years, to ensure that local authorities receive their allocations in time to deliver their projects successfully. Over the CSR07 period capital support of £9.3 billion will be available to deliver the BSF and academies programmes. Resources beyond that will be subject to future spending decisions.
