School Buildings: Expenditure

Volume 494: debated on Monday 15 June 2009

17. To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what plans he has to bring forward spending on school buildings to 2009-10. (279175)

£939 million of school capital funding allocations to schools and to 121 local authorities are being brought forward from 2010-11 to 2009-10. These will be spent on school buildings, ICT and other capital items.

It is disappointing that 27 local authorities did not take up the offer of bringing forward a possible £183 million.
