26. Mrs. Angela Knight

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if she will make a statement on school budgets in Derbyshire for 1995–96.

It will be up to Derbyshire county council to decide what to spend on the various services for which it is responsible, including schools. Derbyshire's education standard spending assessment will increase by 0.7 per cent. in 1995–96.
