§ Mrs. Anne CampbellTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will list for shire counties(a) the education service-block Standard Spending Assessment for each county, divided by the total number of full-time-equivalent pupils financed by that county, (b) the primary education service-sub-block Standard Spending Assessment for each county, divided by the number of primary pupils financed by that county and (c) the secondary education service-sub-block Standard Spending Assessment for each county, divided by the number of secondary pupils financed by that county. [82206]
§ Ms ArmstrongData are not collected on the total number of full-time-equivalent pupils financed by a county.
The calculations in the table for (b) and (c) have divided the Standard Spending Assessment by the estimated number of resident pupils (as defined in the Local Government Finance Report) for primary (aged 5 to 10) and secondary (aged 11 to 15) pupils respectively. Equivalent data for resident nursery (aged 3 to 4) pupils and resident pupils aged 16 and over do not exist; it is not therefore possible to provide data for (a).
