HC Deb 18 June 1964 vol 696 cc215-6W
Mr. Boyden

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what studies he is contemplating into educational expenditure and standards following the introduction by the local education authorities of more detailed financial returns in the current year.

Mr. Hogg

The purpose of the more detailed financial returns which I am now collecting from local education authorities is to enable me to give more detailed and precise information to Parliament and to the public, to make better estimates of the likely expenditure involved in possible policy developments, and to make projections of future expenditure.
