HC Deb 28 November 1974 vol 882 cc231-2W
Mr. Ian Lloyd

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) what is the annual total national expenditure on primary and secondary schools arising directly as a result of vandalism and wilful destruction of school property;

(2) what is the annual total expenditure in Hampshire primary and secondary schools arising directly as a result of vandalism and wilful destruction of school property.

Mr. Armstrong

The Department does not have information about the total national annual cost of the wilful destruction of school property. The Hampshire authority estimates an average annual cost of its area of about £20,000.
