HC Deb 22 December 1982 vol 34 cc521-2W
Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will list the per capita expenditure on education of secondary school age children in each local education authority in each of the last five years.

Dr. Boyson

Figures for 1980–81 and 1981–82 have been published in "Local Government Comparative Statistics 1982" by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy-CIPFA-but comparable figures are not readily available for individual local education authorities for earlier years. CIPFA has also published information about local authorities' expenditure per pupil which does cover each of the last five years. Copies of all these publications are in the Library of the House.
