To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how much and what percentage of the dedicated schools grant was clawed back by each local authority (a) overall, (b) for spending by the local authority within the schools budgets and (c) for local authority central functions in the last year for which figures are available.
The dedicated schools grant (DSG) must be used in support of the schools budget, which covers both funding delegated to maintained schools and other provision for pupils. The DSG can be used to fund local authority central functions.
The following table provides details of the schools budget for each local authority in England for the 2008-09 financial year as well as details of the proportion of the schools budget retained centrally by the local authority for spending within the schools budget. Local authority budget data for 2009-10 financial year is currently in the process of being collected and validated by the DCSF.
