HC Deb 26 June 1984 vol 62 c407W
Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what was the total expenditure of the Inner London education authority for each of the last five years.

Mr. Dunn

The ILEA's total net expenditure on education for each of the last five years was as follows:

£ million*
1979–80 523
1980–81 640
1981–82 706
1982–83 762
1983–84 844
* Figures rounded to the nearest £ million.

These figures exclude ILEA's spending on services not classed as education, principally the careers service. The figure for 1983–84 is ILEA's latest estimate of outturn expenditure; the other figures represent actual outturn expenditure.
