HC Deb 11 May 1978 vol 949 c608W
Mr. Kinnock

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many primary schools and secondary schools, respectively, in each local education authority in Wales were built (a) before 1914, (b) before 1930 and (c) since 1945.

Mr. Barry Jones

The information is not available in the form requested. The following figures of school capacity in Wales by age have been extracted from "A Study of School Building" published last year:

administrative costs. Most of the expenditure involved in local authority current expenditure which is planned on an England and Wales basis. The figures for 1977–78 onwards are approximations derived from the England and Wales totals.

Mr. Kinnock

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what will be the estimated value in terms of 1975 prices of expenditure on primary and secondary schools in Wales in each financial year 1978–79 to 1981–82.

Mr. Barry Jones

The information is as follows:

£m. 1975 Survey Prices
1978–79 171.1
1979–80 172.7
1980–81 171.9
1981–82 170.2

These figures include expenditure on special schools but exclude expenditure on school meals and milk and general administrative costs. Most of the expenditure involved is local authority current expenditure which is currently planned on an England and Wales basis. These elements of the above figures are approximations derived from the England and Wales totals.
