HC Deb 31 March 1995 vol 257 cc818-9W
Mr. Allason

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what was the average figure for administration per school in Devon retained by the local education authority. [17282]

Mr. Robin Squire

For the financial year 1994–95, the Devon local education authority's planned expenditure on "management and administration" amounted to £10,163 per school. This figure relates to all county, voluntary and special schools maintained by the authority and is derived from the budget statement published by the authority under section 42 of the Education Reform Act 1988.
