§ Mr. HendryTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if she will give the amount in cash terms by which(a) the funding from her Department changed per pupil in Derbyshire between 1994–95 and 1995–96 and (b) the funding allocated by Derbyshire county council to each school changed, per pupil, over the same period. [2216]
§ Mr. Robin SquireThe standard spending assessment for Derbyshire increased by £11 or 0.6 per cent., per primary pupil and decreased by £101 or 4.2 per cent., per secondary pupil between 1994–95 and 1995–96. In percentage terms, this is broadly in line with national figures.
A table will be placed in the House of Commons Library showing the change over the same period in funding per pupil allocated by Derbyshire county council to each school maintained by the local education authority.
