§ Mr. CorbynTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list the total spending for the Inner London education authority for each year since 1980 and what proportion of its income was from central government sources; and if he will also list the spending figures for 1990–91 for each of the successor education authorities and the proportion of their income that is drawn from central Government sources.
§ Mr. FallonThe net expenditure of the Inner London authority as recorded on the revenue outturn returns made to the Department of the Environment is shown in the table for all years from 1980–81 to 1988–89. Figures for the 273W outturn expenditure in 1989–90 are not yet available. Grants received by the ILEA are shown for the same years. No rate support grant was received by the authority during this period because of its very high rateable resources. Consistent education budget figures for all the inner London boroughs for 1990–91 are not yet available.
