HC Deb 08 December 1975 vol 902 cc44-5W
Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science by how much his Departmental budget would be augmented if every child of school age had to have paid, on his or her behalf, £10 per annum as a parental contribution towards his or her education.

Mr. Mulley

For the financial year 1974–75, aper capita sum of £10 per child for children of compulsory school age in maintained primary and secondary schools in England and Wales would amount to about £85 million.
