HC Deb 13 June 1984 vol 61 cc481-3W
Mr. Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish figures to show the per capita expenditure in England by education authorities on school pupils for the most recent year that figures are available; if he will detail the figures for each education authority; if he will break down the spending into (a) books, (b) stationery, (c) physical education equipment and (d) other; and if he will give the figures separately for primary and secondary schools.

Mr. Dunn

The information is not available in the form requested. However, the average expenditure per pupil on text and library books, on educational equipment, stationery and materials and on all recurrent items in 1982–83, the latest year for which actual figures are available, were as follows. Separate figures are given for the primary and secondary schools in each education authority.
