HC Deb 15 June 1994 vol 244 c614W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how much has been made available in each year since 1980 for nursery and reception classes in Welsh local education authorities; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

Resources made available to local authorities through the annual settlement are not hypothecated to individual services. Actual expenditure on nursery and reception classes cannot be separately identified within the data collected centrally.
