§ Mr. Peter Lloyd[holding answer 1 February 1989]: The information requested, for the years 1986–87 to 1988–89 has been placed in the Library. The table for 1988–89 is incomplete as returns have yet to be made by a small number of local authorities and the validity of others is still being checked.
