HC Deb 16 March 1982 vol 20 c80W
47. Mr. Christopher Price

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what was the cost to public funds of the recent report by Arthur Young McClelland Moores & Co. entitled "Costing Educational Provision for the 16–19 age group".

Mr. William Shelton

Including printing, about £54,000 plus VAT.

52. Mr. Flannery

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether his Department has carried out a cost analysis of the relative costs of (a) sixth forms and (b) tertiary colleges; and if he will make a statement.

Sir Keith Joseph

No. The manual "Costing Educational Provision for the 16–19 Age Group" prepared for the Government and the local authority associations by Arthur Young McClelland Moores & Co. and recently published sets out a method by which local education authorities can cost alternative forms of 16 to 19 provision in their areas, in the light of their very variable local circumstances.
