HC Deb 02 April 1979 vol 965 cc525-6W
Mr. Mudd

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science by how much her Department's expenditure per capita in Cornwall exceeds, or is less than, the national per capita average of her Department.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

Comprehensive information on expenditure borne on the Votes in Class X for which my Department accounts is not readily available for individual counties. Over four-fifths of my Department's programme concerns expenditure on education and related services by local education authorities which is taken into account in rate support grant settlements. Analyses of this expenditure for individual authorities are given in the education statistics published annually by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy, copies of which are available in the Library.
