149W
§ Mr. ForthInformation is not available in the form requested. the following table shows local education authority expenditure on discretionary awards in the academic year 1993–94 and total net recurrent local authority expenditure on education in the financial year 1993–94. Because the figures for discretionary awards expenditure and net recurrent expenditure are not directly comparable, it is not possible to calculate the percentage of total expenditure which is attributable to discretionary awards.
Information on total local authority expenditure on education in Wales is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales.
