HC Deb 01 December 1981 vol 14 c109W
41. Mr. Eastham

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what the consequential additional costs will be to the local authority in Manchester for 1982–83 arising from his decision not to approve the secondary reorganisation scheme submitted by Manchester city council.

Dr. Boyson

The consequential additional costs for 1982–83 are not known, but the authority estimated that eventually annual savings in non-teaching costs would be £1 million. Actual expenditure in 1982–83 would also have had to take account, inter alia, of the immediate capital cost of beginning to implement the proposals and of any savings that might have been achieved from reductions in the teaching force.
