§ Mr. OppenheimTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how much the Government have spent on primary and secondary education each year since 1981–82.
§ Mrs. RumboldLocal authorities determine their own education budgets. Rate support grant paid by the Government in support of local authority spending is not hypothecated to individual services, and education specific grants are not necessarily paid on a sectoral basis. The information requested is not therefore available.
