HC Deb 16 July 1985 vol 83 cc95-6W
Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will list the amount spent on remedial education by each local education authority in 1979–80 and 1984–85 in real terms; what proportion of the education budget each figure represents; and what percentage change was involved in each case.

Mr. Dunn

This information is not available: remedial education is not separately identified in the local education authorities' returns of expenditure.
