HC Deb 12 January 1987 vol 108 c31W
Mr. Rathbone

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what has been the Government funding, direct and indirect, for the voluntary sector of under-five education for each of the last five years.

Mr. Dunn

Some LEA expenditure supported through RSG will, over this period, have been directed to provision for under fives in voluntary schools but no breakdown of the amounts involved is available.
