HC Deb 27 April 1995 vol 258 cc654-7W
Mr. Thurnham

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if she will list, in ranking order, the amount of subsidy per pupil for school meals for each local education authority in England and Wales, giving in the form of a table the income, expenditure and the subsidy, both in absolute amounts and per pupil, and relate the absolute subsidy to the cost of teachers' pay award in each authority. [20720]

Mr. Robin Squire

The table shows, in ranking order of cost per pupil, the expenditure and income in cash terms for local education authority school catering services in 1992–93, the latest year for which final figures are available. The table also shows the notional cost of the increase in teacher salaries in 1995–96 in England only; this information is not collected centrally in Wales. The figures in the table take no account of changes in teacher numbers or other factors that affect the teachers' pay bill.
