To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how much funding was made available by the Department for Education to the South Eastern Music Centre in each of the past five years for which figures are available; and what plans he has to increase funding.
Maria Eagle
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Northern Ireland Office)
The music service is funded from within the South Eastern Education and Library-Board's (SEELB) Curriculum Advisory and Support Service (CASS) budget. It is therefore a matter for the SEELB to decide how to distribute their overall funding across the services that they provide.
The budget allocated to the music service by the SEELB in each of the last five years was as follows:
| Amount (£) | |
| 2001-02 | 942,000 |
| 2002-03 | 856,000 |
| 2003-04 | 800,000 |
| 2004-05 | 790,000 |
| 2005-06 | 600,000 |
