HC Deb 28 January 1971 vol 810 cc199-200W
Mr. Gwynoro Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the annual cost to a local education authority in Wales in a nursery, primary and secondary school, respectively, in 1959–60, 1964–65 and the estimated cost in 1970–71; and what are the comparable figures for Carmarthenshire.

Mr. Peter Thomas

The following tables show the cost of places in maintained nursery, primary and secondary schools for the years 1959–60, 1964–65 and 1970–71. In Table A the figures for the first two years relate to the 13 Welsh counties only. The figures for 1970–71 in both tables are based on estimates and cover all the local education authorities in Wales.
