answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2015 answer text <p>The Department has an overall capital settlement from which we fund the creation of new school places, the maintenance of the school estate, and system reform. In recent years we have funded five programmes that have in some way supported the creation of new places. When setting budgets we assess the requirements for each of these programmes which vary from year-to-year depending on, for example, demographic changes or the pace and price of construction. The table below shows the amount we have spent on or budgeted for each of these programmes over the last five years:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>(All values £m)</p></td><td><p><strong>2011-12 </strong>Actuals</p></td><td><p><strong>2012-13 </strong>Actuals</p></td><td><p><strong>2013-14 </strong>Actuals</p></td><td><p><strong>2014-15 </strong>Budgets</p></td><td><p><strong>2015-16 </strong>Budgets</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Basic Need</strong></p></td><td><p>1,400</p></td><td><p>1,312</p></td><td><p>798</p></td><td><p>800</p></td><td><p>1,100</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Targeted Basic Need</strong></p></td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td><p>229</p></td><td><p>551</p></td><td>-</td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Demographic Growth Capital Fund</strong></p></td><td><p>24</p></td><td><p>38</p></td><td><p>23</p></td><td><p>53</p></td><td>-</td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Priority Schools Building Programme</strong></p></td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td><p>87</p></td><td><p>603</p></td><td><p>1040</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Free Schools</strong></p></td><td><p>50</p></td><td><p>275</p></td><td><p>704</p></td><td><p>1194</p></td><td><p>1072</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>1,474</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>1,625</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>1,841</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>3,201</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>3,212</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 14/09/2015 15:51:13 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
