The amount of income received from other local education authorities for educating children with special needs is given in the table. The amounts are expressed as a percentage of the expenditure of each local education authority on the purchase of school places from other authorities for pupils with special educational needs.

Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list (a) for each local education authority and (b) for metropolitan counties, shire counties and outer London boroughs, the average percentage of expenditure allocated to children with special needs spent on (i) children educated within the local education authority, (ii) children educated outside the local education authority and (iii) the number and proportion of children with special needs represented by (a) and (b) in each case, at the latest date for which figures are available.

Mr. Dunn

I shall reply to the hon. Member as soon as possible.

Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list in the Official Report (a) for each local education authority the number and (b) for metropolitan counties, shire counties and London boroughs the average number of pupils with special needs educated in another local education authority and received from another local education authority at the latest date for which figures are available.

Mr. Dunn

Set out are, for each local education authority in England, the number of pupils as at January 1984 from outside the authority being educated in special schools within it, and the number of pupils from the authority being educated in special schools in other authorities. Corresponding averages for the metropolitan counties, shire counties and London boroughs, excluding ILEA, are also set out. The numbers of pupils with special needs receiving their education in primary, middle and secondary schools maintained by local education authorities other than that to which they are deemed to belong are not separately available.

Extra-district pupils in special schools: 1984

Mr. Dunn

The average percentages for the outer London boroughs, the metropolitan districts and the shire counties are also given.
