Capital Expenditure: York

Hugh Bayley
19. To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what the average annual capital expenditure was in respect of York schools since 1997-98; and how much was spent in 1996-97.

Jim Knight
The Department does not maintain local authority records on an expenditure basis, as the timing and amount of expenditure is determined by each local authority. The average annual capital allocation by the Department to York schools for the 11 year period 1997-98 to 2007-08 is £9.83 million. The allocation in 1996-97 was £0.83 million.
