The figures for each of the last four financial years are set out in the "Standard Spending Assessment Handbook" copies of which have been placed in the Library. The local government finance system prior to 1990–91 was not constructed in such a way to provide data on a basis which is comparable with the present system. Neither education standard spending assessments nor the sub-blocks within them are ear-marked for local authority spending on education, as each authority is free to determine its spending priorities between and within the services for which it has responsibility.

Mr. Robin Squire

Available expenditure data cover whole schools and cannot readily be disaggregated between particular age ranges. The latest year for which information on actual expenditure by local education authorities (LEAs) is available is 1991–;92. The following tables indicate, for each LEA in England, the net school-based expenditure in nursery and primary schools combined and in secondary schools in each year from 1987–88 to 1991–92.

Notes:

1. Figures for 1989–90 to 1991–92 are derived from LEAs' returns of their spending to the Department of Environment. They include school-based spending on salaries and wages, recurrent premises costs, books, equipment and other supplies and services. From 1990–91 they also include unspent balances held by schools under local management schemes. Figures exclude spending on home to school transport, school meals, LEAs' central administration and financing costs of capital expenditure. Figures for 1987–88 and 1988–89 are taken from the Cipfa handbook "Education Statistics Actuals" for that year.

2. "n/a" indicates that a return was not received from the LEA.
