HC Deb 12 May 1981 vol 4 c250W
Mr. Field

the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list the charges that each local education authority in England was making at the most recent comparable date for which information is available.

Mr. Mark Carlisle

Local authorities are not required to analyse their income in this way in their annual returns of expenditure to central departments and this information could not be provided without special inquiries at disproportionate cost.
