§ Mr. Lawsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland the average cost per pupil per annum at direct grant-aided schools and at local authority senior and junior secondary schools.
§ Mr. MaclayThe estimated average cost per pupil at the grant-aided secondary schools for the year 1956–57 was approximately £81. It is not possible to give with accuracy the cost per pupil at senior and junior secondary schools conducted by education authorities, as their financial returns deal with all types 127W of schools together and do not include detailed analyses from which the figures for senior and junior secondary schools could be extracted.
