Primary and Secondary Schools (Resources) (Hansard, 22 February 1993)

HC Deb 22 February 1993 vol 219 c459W 459W

§ Mr. Steen
To ask the Secretary of State for Education what steps he is taking to rectify the imbalance of resources between primary and secondary schools; and if he will make a statement.

§ Mr. Forth
It is for each local education authority to determine the appropriate balance of spending between the primary and secondary school sectors. The 1993–94 local authority grant settlement allows for local authorities in England to spend £16,854 million on education overall, 2.6 per cent. more than the comparable figure for 1992–93.
