§ Ms. RuddockTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will update to the latest date available the answer given to the hon. Member for Barking (Ms. Richardson), 4 May 1989,Official Report, column 173–74, on expenditure on books and equipment.
§ Mr. Alan HowarthThe information previously supplied has been updated to take account of latest data on actual local authority spending in 1987–88 as recorded in returns to the Department of the Environment: pupil numbers as recorded in returns to the Department of Education and Science; and price movements as recorded by the GDP deflator. Comparable data on spending in 1988–89 are not yet available. The table has been expanded to show two indices. The first shows the change in real-terms spending for each year compared with the base year 1978–79; the second, also shown in the previous table, shows the change in real-terms spending for each year compared with the previous year.
