HC Deb 08 February 1988 vol 127 cc50-3W
Mr. Straw

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish in theOfficial Report a table, based on table 12.1 of the public expenditure White Paper Cmnd. 288-II, with all figures converted to 1987–88 prices and in the manner of his reply, Official Report, 29 January 1987 columns 509–14.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

The information requested is set out in the table. The figures have been revalued using the GDP (market prices) deflator, which is assumed to rise by 4.25 per cent. in 1987–88, 4.5 per cent. in 1988–89. 3.5 per cent. in 1989–90 and 3 per cent. in 1990–91. All figures in the table have been rounded to the nearest £1 million, so that the totals shown may not equal the sum of their rounded components.
