HC Deb 20 February 1989 vol 147 c450W
19. Mr. Knox

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how much was spent per pupil in primary schools in Wales in the most recent year for which figures are available; and what was the comparable figure for 1978–79, at constant prices.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The figures were £909 (in 1986–87), and £747 (in 1978–79). This represents a real terms increase of 21.7 per cent.
