Mr. Hawkins

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, Cm. 288–II, with all figures converted to 1987–88 prices.

Mrs. Rumbold

The information requested is set out in the table. The figures have been revalued using the Budget assumptions about movements in the GDP (market prices) deflator, which is assumed to rise by 5 per cent. in 1987–88, 4.5 per cent. in 1988–89, 4 per cent. in 1989–90 and 3.5 per cent. in 1990–91. All figures have been rounded to the nearest £1 million, so that the totals shown may not equal the sum of their rounded components.
