HC Deb 20 November 1979 vol 974 c119W
41. Mr. Marks

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will give guidance to local authorities on size of classes, teacher-pupil ratio and capital tion allowance for primary and secondary schools.

No. It is for local authorities to decide how they will deploy the resources at their disposal in the light of their individual circumstances.
