§ 76. Mr. McKayasked the Minister of Education what is the average cost per year of providing a place in county secondary schools, including the cost of building, current costs, general up-keep, and teachers' salaries; and how much of this is met by the local education authorities and how much by his Department.
§ Mr. Geoffrey LloydSeparate figures are not available for county schools as distinct from other secondary schools maintained by local education authorities or for grammar schools as distinct from other types of secondary school. The average cost per pupil in all types of maintained secondary school in 1957–58 is estimated at about £77, of which about £45 is met from my Department's Vote and about £32 from the rates and Exchequer equalisation grant.
§ 77. Mr. McKayasked the Minister of Education when a child has gained a county grammar school place and is given a free transfer to a direct grant school, what is the average cost, exclusive of travelling expenses, to the local education authority; and what is the cost to his Department.
