question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what is the total yearly extra cost to schools of educating children whose first language is not English.
tabling member printed	Lord Tebbit
uin	HL5939
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2014 answer text <p>We do not collect this data centrally. It is for individual schools to decide how much extra they choose to spend on educating pupils whose first language is not English.</p><p>Through their local funding formulas, local authorities may allocate funding to schools on the basis of the number of pupils in the school who speak English as an additional language and entered the state school system in the past three years. Local authorities allocated £233 million in this way in 2013-14. The funding is not ring-fenced within a school's budget so this figure may not be a reliable indicator of actual spending.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 20/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
