§ Mr. Nicholas BennettTo 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, starting with the highest spending authority, together with their position in the table of examination results for school leavers achieving grades A to C at GCSE in 1988 and 1989.
§ Mrs. RumboldThe table gives the net institutional expenditure per secondary school pupil in the financial year 1987–88, and averaged examination results for the three years 1985–86 to 1987–88. The purpose of averaging is to reduce sampling error within the derived percentages. Comparable information is not yet available for 1988–89.

It does not include the cost of school meals, central administration and inspection, debt charges or revenue contributions to capital outlay. 3 The unit spending figures are based on LEA expenditure returns to the Department of the Environment for the financial year 1987–88, and pupil number returns to DES. Data for four authorities are not available. 4 The examination data are aggregated from the results of a sample survey for the academic years 1985–86, 1986–87 and 1987–88. The surveyis based on a 10 per cent. sample of pupils in maintained and independent schools (excluding special schools) who have reached the minimum school leaving age. The percentages quoted do not reflect the achievements of pupils at O-level, CSE or GCSE after leaving school; nor their attainments in examinations leading to vocational or other qualifications at school or elsewhere. 5 Includes grades A-C at O-level and CSE grade 1.
§ Mr. Nicholas BennettTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list the number of children sitting(a) GCSE and (b) A-level examinations in each local education authority in England as a percentage of the total number in the relevant year groups for 1988; and if he will list by each local education authority in England the number of children achieving (i) GCSE grades A to C, (ii) GCSE grades C to F and (iii) A-level grades A and E as a percentage of the total number of pupils in the relevant year in 1988 and 1989.
§ Mrs. RumboldThe information is not readily available in the form requested. The table gives sampled examination results for school leavers, averaged over the academic years 1985–86, 1986–87 and 1987–88. The purpose of averaging is to reduce sampling error within the derived percentages. Comparable information is not yet available for 1988–89.
