MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 1452

Schools Funding

MR CORNWELL - asked the Minister for Education and Training on notice on 8 November 1994:

Further to your answer to question on notice No. 1369 -

(1) What are the "number of adjustments" referred to in your cause for additional funding

being required for Government schools during 1993-94 and what "increased litigation"

is referred to, by item, cause and amount.

(2) Why did the Commonwealths One Nation Package funding cease earlier than

anticipated and thus decrease expected funding to the ACTs non-government schools

by $0.611 m.

MR WOOD - the answer to Mr Cornwells Question is:

(1) (a) The "number of adjustments" referred to were outlined in papers presented to the Select Committee on Budget Performance and Outcomes 1993-94. In summary, the additional funding received is as follows:

Original Subvention 203.569

206,316

(b) Details of claims paid under the Litigation heading in 1993-94 cannot be

provided because they would allow identification of individuals. Of the 27
