Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what were the contributions of central Government and local government to expenditure on local government education in every year since 1978–79 at 1990–91 prices.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

It is not possible to provide information in the form requested. The bulk of central Government support for local authority expenditure through aggregate external finance is not hypothecated to individual services.
