§ Mr. Ashdownasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will give figures for the latest convenient year of(a) the level of capital receipts and (b) the level of capital allocations for each local education authority in Britain expressed on a per student basis.
§ Mr. DunnThe latest year for which information is available is 1985–86. The figures for England are given in the table. Allocations are not made on a per student basis: instead my right hon. Friend takes account of a number of factors which reflect varying needs in different local authorities' areas. These include the need to provide additional school places in areas of population growth and the distribution of institutions providing advanced further education.
Local authorities in Scotland and Wales are the responsibility of my right hon. Friends and the Secretaries of State for Scotland and for Wales.
