§ Mr. Andrew F. Bennettasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what are the total amounts paid out in each of the last five years for which figures are available on (a) mandatory maintenance awards and (b) discretionary' maintenance awards in real terms using 1979–80 as a base, by local education authorities.
§ Mr. BrookeA full reply could only be provided at disproportionate cost. The following table shows the amounts paid out in respect or full-value mandatory and discretionary awards by each local authority in England and Wales in 1979–80 and 1983£84, and the value in percentage terms of the 1983–84 payments deflated by increases in retail prices, using 1979–80 as the base.
