§ 39. Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science in which areas of education local education authorities are making economies in provision for primary schoolchildren.
§ Dr. BoysonI do not have detailed recent information about LEA expenditure on primary schools. In their report on the effects of local authority expenditure policies on the education service in England 1981 Her Majesty's inspectors of schools suggest that economies may have been made by some LEAs in the areas of teaching staff; non-teaching staff; books and equipment; and premises.
