Mr. Soames

In the case of Quantock school, I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 11 December 1995,Official Report, column 478.

As at June 1995 the number of children who received support through the service boarding school allowance scheme, attending the other three schools in question, were:

• Finsborough School: 123
• Rodney School: 26
• Lime House School: 90

The information on how much each school has received during the last four academic years is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
