To ask the Scottish Executive whether there will be an impact on a local authority’s education funding allocation if it decreases teacher numbers or increases teacher pupil ratios in primary 1 to 3 in October 2011 and, if so, what that impact will be.
Answer
The Scottish Government has made clear that for councils to access the full amount of the financial package, it will require each local authority to agree formally to the full list of commitments contained within the package.
Each local authority leader has been asked to write to the Scottish Government, by 28 February 2011 at the latest, to provide a formal assurance that the budget approved by the council includes provision to deliver all the specified commitments agreed. If not, the revenue funding available to the councils concerned will be reduced by an average of 6.4%, rather than 2.6%.

To ask the Scottish Executive what the education funding allocation for Argyll and Bute Council will be for 2011-12 if it complies with the conditions of the concordat, also expressed as a percentage of its budget.
Answer
Local authorities receive funding from the Scottish Government in the form of a block grant. There is no education funding allocation. It is for each local authority to deploy the total financial resources available to it on the basis of local needs and priorities, its statutory obligations and the jointly agreed set of national and local priorities including the Scottish Government''s key strategic objectives. Argyll and Bute Council''s provisional allocation for 2011-12 is £220.059 million if it signs up to the terms of the financial package by 28 February.
