HC Deb 29 April 1986 vol 96 cc356-60W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many pupils remained in education after (a) 16 and (b) 17, but under 19 years, in each local education authority in England at the latest date for which figures are available; and what was the amount granted in discretionary awards by each local education authority in that year.

Mr. Chris Patten

Table 1 below shows the numbers of 16, 17 and 18-year-olds who remained in full-time education at maintained schools and further education establishments in the academic year 1984–85 in each local education authority in England. Table 2 gives each authority's maintenance expenditure on full value and lesser value discretionary awards in that year in England and Wales.
