HC Deb 07 July 1988 vol 136 cc677-8W
Mr. Nicholas Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what estimates he has as to the relative costs per primary pupil in(a) rural and (b) urban schools in each Welsh county; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

It is not possible to differentiate between costs incurred in urban and rural schools because the relevant information is collected on a countrywide basis only.
