§ Mr. OppenheimTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) how much money per pupil each education authority received from the Government for the latest year for which figures are available;
(2) how much money each education authority received from the Government for the latest year for which figures are available.
§ Mr. ButcherThe information requested is not available. Whereas specific grant payments for education activities made to each local education authority can be separately identified, the much larger block grant payment is not hypothecated to individual services, and it is not therefore possible in the case of multi-purpose authorities to separate the element of grant paid to support education from that paid to support other services.
