HC Deb 23 April 1993 vol 223 cc218-21W
Mr. Knox

To ask the Secretary of State for Education how much was spent per(a) primary and (b) secondary school pupil in each of the local education authorities in England and in the most recent year for which figures are available; and what the comparable figures were in 1978–79, at constant prices.

Mr. Forth

Figures for expenditure on nursery and primary pupils are not collected separately. Spending per pupil for each English local education authority in nursery and primary schools combined and in secondary schools in 1978–79 and 1991–92 at 1992–93 prices is as shown in the table. The figures for 1991–92 are subject to final checking by the Department of the Environment and the Department of Education.
