§ Mr. Hefferasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what financial aid has been given for educational projects, including schools and other educational institutions, to Glasgow over the last 10 years.
§ Mr. McElhoneCapital expenditure on the education service by the former Glasgow Corporation was as follows:
Financial Year £000 (at outturn prices) 1966–67 … … … 4,399 1967–68 … … … 5,270 1968–69 … … … 7,771 1969–70 … … … 7,524 1970–71 … … … 7,493 1971–72 … … … 6,939 1972–73 … … … 8,882 1973–74 … … … 9,670 1974–75 … … … 7,744 These amounts represent actual capital expenditure financed either by revenue contributions or by borrowing, for both of which central Government assistance is given through rate support grant. The grant is paid to local authorities in respect of a wide range of services and is not attributable to specific items of expenditure. Separate figures of educational expenditure in Glasgow in 1975–76 are not available, since Strathclyde Regional Council became responsible for the provision of education as a result of the reform of local government.
