HC Deb 07 February 1991 vol 185 c214W
Mr. Paice

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make available in the Library, copies of all section 42 statements provided by local education authorities.

Mr. Fallon

Local education authorities' section 42 budget statements are typically very bulky documents, running in some cases to several hundred pages each. I am arranging for part 1 of each published statement to be placed in the Library. Part 1 gives details of the resources an authority is retaining for central management instead of passing down to schools for them to spend.
