Sir Irvine PatrickTo ask the Secretary of State for Education if she will list in ascending order the difference between income and expenditure for school meal services for all metropolitan districts in each of the last seven years. [29985]
§ Mr. Robin SquireThe table gives the total net expenditure on the school catering service for all metropolitan districts from 1987–88 to 1993–94, the latest year for which figures are available. The figures are not necessarily comparable because over the seven years, returns were not received from all authorities.
