Education and Skills written question – answered at on 18 November 2004.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what arrangements are proposed for ring-fencing funding of Sure Start programmes through local authorities.
As proposed in the "Every Child Matters" Green Paper, the Government are seeking to provide increased autonomy for local planning and decision-making. We are planning to merge the various child care funding streams into one allocation to give flexibility to help local authorities implement our child care agenda. Next year, we want to work with the 21 authorities who are piloting Local Area Agreements to see how a 'money for outcomes' funding system might work best.
