§ Mr. Ovendenasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what are the latest figures for expenditure on nursery education by each education authority; and what expenditure per thousand population and per thousand children under five years of age this represents.
§ Miss Margaret Jackson:My Department does not prepare figures of expenditure for each local education authority but this information can be derived from the education statistics published annually by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy, copies of which are available in the Library.
