§ Mr. Win GriffithsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what proportion of spending in maintained schools has been met by the Welsh Office in(a) each of the last five years and (b) 1978–79.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsLocal authority schools are funded through the annual local government revenue and capital settlements. Resources provided by the Welsh Office are not hypothecated to particular services. For 1993–94 Government plans will provide local authorities with 90 per cent. central Government support for revenue expenditure, including loan charges. Grant maintained schools are fully funded by the Welsh Office but are free to generate additional income.
