To ask the Secretary of State for Education what was the expenditure on books and equipment in 1992–93 in maintained nursery, primary and secondary schools per pupil.

Mr. Robin Squire

Separate information is not collected for nursery and primary schools. Local education authorities' spending on books and equipment in 1992–93 was £59 per pupil in LEA-maintained nursery and primary schools and £98 per pupil in LEA-maintained secondary schools. Equivalent information is not available for grant-maintained schools.
