HC Deb 25 July 1985 vol 83 cc643-8W
Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) whether he will list in the Official Report for the latest year for which figures are available (a) the maximum paid in respect of one school and (b) the average paid in respect of one school under the assisted places scheme represented by incidental expenses of (i) travel, (ii) uniform, (iii) meals and (iv) all three;

(2) whether he will list in the Official Report for the latest year for which figures are available the percentage of the average fee income to participating schools in respect of (a) assisted places pupils and (b) all pupils represented by the assistance with incidental expenses for travel, meals and uniform.

Mr. Dunn

[pursuant to his reply, 22 July 1985, columns 349–350]: The information requested for the school year 1984–85 is as follows:

£ £
Maximum paid to one school Average paid to one school
Travel 9,469 1,354
Uniform 5,566 1,419
Meals 6,715 2,241
All Three 17,539 5,014

The average paid to one school in respect of travel, meals and uniform represents 3.9 per cent. of fee income from assisted pupils or 0.5 per cent. of that from all pupils.

Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) whether he will list in the Official Report for the latest year for which figures are available (a) the maximum paid in respect of one pupil, and (b) the average paid per pupil under the assisted places scheme for the incidental expenses of (i) travel, (ii) uniforms, and (iii) school meals and of (i), (ii) and (iii) together;

(2) whether he will list in the Official Report for the latest year for which figures are available the percentage of the average assistance with fees for a pupil under the assisted places scheme represented by the assistance with incidental expenses for travel, meals and uniform.

Mr. Dunn

[pursuant to his reply, 22 July 1985, columns 349–350]: Information on payments for incidental expenses in respect of individual pupils is not collected by the Department. For the school year 1984–85, average payments per pupil were as follows:

£ per pupil
Travel 29
Uniform 18
Meals 18
All Three 65

The total is equivalent to 4.8 per cent. of the tuition fee remission payments.

Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will list in the Official Report the percentage fee increase in each school participating in the assisted places scheme in each year since its introduction; and what are the increases for the next academic year.

Mr. Dunn

[pursuant to his reply, 22 July 1985, c. 349–50]: The information requested is as follows:
