HC Deb 04 November 1993 vol 231 cc398-407W
Mrs. Ann Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what was the total spent by each local education authority on(a) primary school books, (b) secondary school books, (c) other books, (d) the total book expenditure on schools and (e) the total expenditure on books for each of the financial years 1987–88 until 1992–93.

Mr. Forth

The information is not available in the form requested. Information on local education authorities' spending on books and equipment in primary (including nursery) schools and secondary schools from 1989–90 to 1991–92, the latest year for which figures are available, is shown in the tables. Figures for 1987–88 and 1988–89 are not readily available and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

The tables give information on books and equipment both separately and combined. This is because LEAs do not distinguish on a consistent basis between the two headings in their returns of expenditure due to differing local accounting practices. The figures shown for expenditure on books alone therefore do not provide a sound basis for comparisons between LEAs.

1991–92, the latest year for which figures are available, is shown in the table. The table gives information on books and equipment both separately and combined. This is because LEAs do not distinguish on a consistent basis between the two headings in their returns of expenditure due to differing local accounting practices. The figures shown for expenditure on books alone therefore do not provide a sound basis for comparisons between LEAs.
