§ Mr. SheermanTo ask the Secretary of State for Education what formula is used to calculate education standard spending assessments per pupil.
§ Mr. Robin SquireThe information requested is contained in the "Local Government Finance Report (England) 1995–96," a copy of which has been placed in the Library. The SSA system does not set out to provide the same sum of money per pupil, but to provide funding for a common standard of service across the country.
