To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families

(1) what grants have been allocated under the Targeted Capital Fund in the last three years for which figures are available; and which of these were made under the standards and diversity element of the fund;

(2) pursuant to the written ministerial statement of 3 March 2009, Official Report, columns 49-50WS, on schools capital funding (2009-10), how much funding his Department has allocated to the Targeted Capital Fund to date; and what the likely distribution of such funding is between the fund's programmes.

In 2006-07 there was a bidding round under the Targeted Capital Fund (TCF) against published criteria, aimed at raising standards through addressing building need. This resulted in allocations of some £311 million (with payments phased over the life of each project).

As part of the CSR07 process it was decided that much of the available resources available for new TCF projects would be allocated to those authorities who were not yet in the Building Schools for the Future programme. This meant that 76 authorities were allocated £8 million each to invest in their schools to address building needs concerned with the 14-19 agenda and/or special educational needs and disabilities, totalling £608 million.

This was originally phased to be paid as £152 million in 2009-10 and £456 million in 2010-11, although the subsequent fiscal stimulus initiative has now changed this phasing to £303 million in 2009-10 and £305 million in 2010-11.

The other main TCF categories announced through the CSR process were the application based Standards and Diversity programme, through which £131 million has been allocated in 2008-09 (with payments phased over the spending period), and kitchens and dining facilities, through which £150 million has been allocated over the spending period.
