HC Deb 21 January 1993 vol 217 cc344-51W
Mr. Nigel Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list for each education authority, the amount per pupil spent on(a) under-fives, (b) primary, (c) 11 to 16 and (d) post-16 education for the last three years for which figures are available.

Mr. Forth

Available expenditure data cover nursery and primary schools, or secondary schools, as a whole, and cannot be disaggregated between particular age ranges. The latest year for which information on actual expenditure by local education authorities is available is 1990–91. The tables indicate, for each local education authority in England, the average school-based expenditure per pupil in nursery and primary schools and in secondary schools in each year from 1988–89 to 1990–91.

Notes to tables:

1. Figures are derived from LEAs' returns of their spending to the Department of the Environment and of their pupil numbers to the Department for Education. They include school-based spending on salaries and wages, recurrent premises costs, books, equipment and other supplies and services. For 1990–91 they also include unspent balances held by schools at the year end under local management schemes. Figures exclude spending on home to school transport,

2. "n/a" indicates that a return was not received from the LEA. Figures for 1988–89 and 1989–90 are rounded to the nearest £5, and for 1990–91 to the nearest £10.

Mr. Nigel Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list for each education authority, the amount per pupil spent on special needs education, the total spent on special needs education and the percentage this represents of the total education budget, for the last year for which figures are available.

Mr. Forth

The latest year for which information on actual expenditure is available is 1990–91. The table indicates, for each local education authority in England, net institutional expenditure per pupil in maintained special schools or receiving education otherwise than at school provided by each local education authority; total net recurrent expenditure on special education; and the percentage this represents of the LEA's total net recurrent expenditure on education. The figures for special education exclude expenditure on pupils with special needs attending primary and secondary schools and on services such as child guidance and educational psychology, as the relevant data are not collected separately.

Note to table

1. Figures are derived from LEAs' returns of their spending to the Department of the Environment and of their pupil numbers to the Department for Education.

2. Net institutional expenditure covers the costs of salaries and wages, recurrent premises costs, books, equipment and other supplies and services. It excludes the costs of home to school transport, school meals, LEAs' central administration, and financing costs of capital expenditure.

3. Net recurrent expenditure includes all expenditure other than on financing of capital expenditure, less income other than from specific grants.

4. The variations in the figures between LEAs partly reflect the geographical distribution of different kinds of special schools and partly differences in policies of integration of pupils with special needs into ordinary schools.
