HC Deb 25 March 1985 vol 76 cc42-5W
Mr. Alton

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what information he has for each local education authority in England and Wales about the total number of applications made for discretionary grant awards, the number granted in full and the number granted in part, for the last year in which figures are available.

Mr. Brooke

No information is collected regarding the number of applications which are made. The table shows for 1982–83 the number of new full-value and lesser value discretionary awards actually made, and expressed per 1,000 of the average of the 18 and 19-year-old population for each local authority in England and Wales.
