HC Deb 12 June 1990 vol 174 c167W
Mr. Nicholas Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will give the five education authorities in England which spent the most per secondary pupil in 1988, together with their position in the examination league table.

Mr. Alan Howarth

Data on examination results are not yet available for 1988–89. Nor are some significant data on spending. In 1987–88, the five authorities spending the most per secondary pupil, and their position in an examination ranking based on school leavers with five or more good GCSEs over the past three years, were as follows:

in the exam ranking
ILEA 88th
Waltham Forest 95th
Brent 75th
Newham 93rd
Croydon 57th
