HC Deb 02 December 1991 vol 200 c16W
Mr. Maxwell-Hyslop

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will list, for each local education authority in England, what extra resources have been made available for statemented children, expressed as teacher-hours per statemented child.

Mr. Fallon

My Department does not collect the information requested. The latest available data suggest that in 1989–90 overall spending per pupil by local education authorities in England on maintained special schools and related provision was more than four times higher than spending per pupil in maintained nursery, primary and secondary schools.
