HC Deb 15 April 1991 vol 189 cc43-9W
Mr. Wilshire

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will supply for each local education authority information on(a) the total revenue expenditure of the relevant council on all services, (b) the total revenue expenditure on all education services, (c) the total revenue expenditure on further education and sixth form colleges, (d) the percentage of item (a) represented by items (b) and (c), (e) the total capital expenditure of the relevant council on all services, (f) the total capital expenditure on all education services, (g) the total capital expenditure on further education and sixth form colleges, (h) the percentage of item (e) represented by items (f) and (g), (i) the total number of, whole-time equivalent, employees of the relevant councils, (j) the total number of whole-time employees engaged in providing the education services and (k) the total number of equivalent employees working in further education and sixth form colleges, and (l) the percentage of item (i) represented by items (j) and (k).

Mr. Fallon

The readily available information is shown in the tables. The financial information is taken from authorities' spending returns and is for 1988–89, the latest year for which data are available. The information on numbers of employees is as collected by the joint staffing watch, and is for March 1990.

Information on further education and sixth form colleges is not collected on a comparable basis. Authorities' spending returns do not separate expenditure on sixth form colleges from that on other secondary schools. Information returned on further education colleges does not separately identify those institutions which subsequently transferred to the Polytechnics and Colleges Funding Council.

Note:

No full-time equivalents of the part-time numbers are available, and the total part-time staff figures provide a general indication only of the actual amount of part-time employment. Since the full-time equivalents of part-time employees cannot be calculated, neither can meaningful percentages of totals accounted for by the education sector.
