§ Mr. Andrew F. Bennettasked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the expenditure per pupil for those involved in the technical and vocational education initiative.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonThe total projected cost to the Manpower Services Commission of the first 62 projects under the technical and vocational education initiative is some £150 million. These provide for some 62,000 entrants, which gives an average cost over the period of the experiment of some £2,400 per entrant. This includes substantial initial non-recurrent development costs but excludes local authority costs.
