HC Deb 01 March 1983 vol 38 c125W
Mr. O'Neill

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how much the per capita allowance was for each pupil made by each education authority from 1975–76 to 1982–83 in primary and secondary schools, by education authority and stage of progress through the school.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

Individual education authorities are responsible for determining per capita allowances and this information is not held centrally.

Mr. O'Neill

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how much it cost in constant prices to educate each student in each course in all colleges of education from 1970–71 to 1982–83, by course and college year.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher
