§ Mr. BayleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Education how much(a) capital and (b) revenue money has been spent by grant-maintained schools each year since the first grant-maintained school opened; and how many pupils attended a grant-maintained school in each of those years.
§ Mr. Robin SquireThe information requested is as follows:
Financial year (a) Capital1 (£ million) (b) Revenue1 (£ million) Pupil numbers2 1989–90 2 16 15,100 1990–91 7 63 38,100 1991–92 10 182 109,000 1992–93 28 479 236,000 1 The information on capital and revenue expenditure has been compiled from returns made by the schools, and includes expenditure financed from income other than grant. 2 Pupil numbers have been derived from the Department's annual January census, for the schools which were self-governing by the end of each financial year. The totals therefore include some pupils whose schools were self-governing for only part of the financial year.
