HC Deb 13 March 1985 vol 75 c170W
15. Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how much was spent per pupil in primary schools in Scotland in the most recent year for which figures are available; and how this compares with the figure for 1978–79, at constant prices.

Mr. Allan Stewart

In 1983–84 net expenditure per pupil in primary schools in Scotland at out-turn prices was £882. This represents an increase of 14 per cent. at constant prices over the figure for 1978–79 which was £410.
