§ Mr. CorbynTo ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list the total spending on statutory education provision per inner London borough for each year since 1988; what it is projected to be in 1993; and what the equivalent figure would have been if uprated by inflation from the 1989–90 figure.
§ Mr. ForthThe latest year for which information on actual expenditure on education is available is 1990–91. The table gives information for each of the three years from 1988–89 to 1990–91. It is for each inner London borough to determine its spending plans for 1993–94.
