§ Mr. Radiceasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what has been the change in expenditure per pupil in real terms between 1979–80 and 1984–85 for primary school and for secondary schools.
§ Sir Keith JosephIt is estimated that the net institutional expenditure per pupil of local education authorities in England increased by 16 per cent. in real erms between 1979–80 and 1984–85, in both primary and secondary schools. The gross domestic product (market prices) deflator was used to bring expenditure to a common price base for this calculation. The figures for 1984–85 are drawn from the estimates published by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy.
