To ask the Scottish Executive whether there are any plans to revise the formula that allocates funding in respect of the McCrone settlement to local authorities.

The answer

No. Most of the funding for <I>A Teaching Profession for the 21st Century </I>has been distributed as part of the local government settlement, using the formula agreed with COSLA. Each council's allocations for the next three years were announced on 4 December. The distribution of the remaining funding to support the agreement will be announced by the Minister for Education and Young People in due course.
