§ Mr. David NicholsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list all local education authorities in England in rank order of expenditure per secondary pupil per year, together with their position in the table of examination results for school leavers achieving five or more O-levels at grades A to C or CSE grade 1, for the year 1984–85.
§ Mrs. RumboldThe information in the table gives the average cost per secondary school pupil for the financial year 1984–85; and the three-year average, over the academic years 1984–85, 1985–86 and 1986–87, of the proportion of school leavers who attained five or more higher grades at O-level/CSE. The latter figures are drawn from a 10 per cent. sample of pupils at each school and are presented in the form of a three-year average, rather than for any single year, to help mitigate the effects of sampling error.
