HC Deb 12 July 1993 vol 228 cc356-7W
Mr. David Porter

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what plans he has to improve the analysis of local education authority spending figures by his Department; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Forth

For the 1992–93 financial year, we aim to have a complete data set by January 1994, about two months earlier than hitherto.

Achievement of this aim depends on LEAs completing and submitting the relevant returns on time.
