HC Deb 14 January 1991 vol 183 cc366-9W
Mr. Fatchett

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science on the latest available figures, if he will set out for each local education authority(a) the level of expenditure on the youth service and (b) the standard spending assessment for the youth service.

Mr. Atkins

The latest year for which outturn expenditure is available is 1988–89. Table 1 shows the actual recurrent expenditure of each local education authority on youth and community services in 1988–89, with the exception of three authorities which failed to make a return. The standard spending assessment does not include a block of expenditure dedicated to the youth service alone, but makes allowance for this expenditure within the "other education services" block, which also allows for adult education. Table 2 shows the amount for each local education authority of the "other education services" block of the standard spending assessment for 1990–91.
