HC Deb 17 December 1970 vol 808 c403W
68. Mr. Goodhart

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many local education authorities spent less than £1 per head on school books for each child in primary schools during the year 1969–70, and which.

Mr. van Straubenzee

Detailed statistics for 1969–70 compiled by the Institute of Municipal Treasurers and Accountants and the Society of County Treasurers will not be published until next February, but I understand that there were 71 such authorities.
