HC Deb 01 April 1971 vol 814 cc424-5W
Mr. Kinnock

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will publish a list giving expenditure per pupil or student on primary, secondary and higher education by each English and Welsh local education authority.

Mr. van Straubenzee

For primary and secondary expenditure per pupil I would refer the hon. Member to Education Statistics 1969–70 published by the Institute of Municipal Treasurers and Accountants and the Society of County Treasurers, a copy of which is available in the library. Statistics for higher education are not available in the same form, but the publication also gives comparative figures for further education, based on costs per 1,000 population.
