HC Deb 04 November 1992 vol 213 cc256-64W
Mr. Whittingdale

To ask the Secretary of State for Education (1) what is the expenditure per pupil on primary education for each local education authority in England;

(2) what is the expenditure per pupil on nursery education for each local education authority in England.

Mr. Forth

Information on nursery and primary pupils is not collected separately. The latest year for which information on actual expenditure is available is 1990–91. In that year, school-based funding per full-time equivalent pupil in nursery and primary education for each local education authority in England was as given in the table. These figures include unspent balances held by schools at the year end under local management schemes. They do not include the costs of services provided centrally by local education authorities such as home to school transport, school meals, local education authority central administration and financing costs of capital expenditure.

Mr. Whittingdale

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what is the expenditure per pupil with special needs for each local education authority in England.

Mr. Forth

The latest year for which information on actual expenditure is available is 1990–91. In that year, direct expenditure per pupil in maintained special schools or receiving education otherwise than at school provided by each local education authority (LEA) in England was as given in the table. Expenditure on pupils with special needs attending primary and secondary schools is not collected separately. The figures do not include costs of services such as child guidance and educational psychology provided centrally by LEAs, nor of home to school transport, school meals, LEA central administration and financing costs of capital expenditure, as these costs were not apportioned between services in LEAs' expenditure returns.
