§ Mr. Dewarasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a table showing (a) the total education budget for each year since 1979 expressed as actual outturn expenditure for each year on a constant 1986–87 prices base and (b) the proportion of that total allocated in each year to (i) school teachers' salaries, (ii) adult education, (iii) adult education staff salaries and (iv) the Workers Educational Association.
§ Mr. RifkindNo separate information is held on resources allocated to adult education which will constitute an element of many parts of my education programme. The information requested which is available is as follows:
§ Mr. Dewarasked the Secretary of State for Scotland who will be responsible for the distribution in Scotland of European Economic Community intervention fund food; and how much of each individual type of food will be distributed to each region.
§ Mr. RifkindThe following charitable organisations have agreed to co-operate in arranging the distribution of free food in Scotland:
- Salvation Army
- Women's Royal Voluntary Service
429 - Age Concern Scotland
- Royal British Legion Scotland
- Help the Aged
- British Red Cross
- Church of Scotland Board of Social Responsibility
- Catholic Social Care Commission
The amounts of each individual food distributed in each region will depend on the needs established by the charitable organisations, and cannot yet be estimated.
§ Mr. Dewarasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what proportion of the United Kingdom allocation of European Economic Community intervention fund foods will be distributed in Scotland.
§ Mr. RifkindFunds are not being allocated to individual member states or regions. The relationship of expenditure in Scotland to that in other regions of the United Kingdom will depend on the eventual uptake by the charitable organisations concerned in each region.
