§ Mr. Harry GreenwayTo ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will name the schools, together with their local education authorities with(a) the highest and (b) the lowest percentage of the education budget assigned to school governors; and if she will make a statement.
§ Mr. Robin SquireInformation on the overall proportion of the potential schools budget retained by local education authorities, rather than that delegated to schools, is contained in the answer which I gave on 17 October 1994 to my hon. Friend the Member for Billericay (Mrs. Gorman),Official Report, columns 27–36. This proportion depends on the local management of schools scheme for the LEA concerned. The total call made be each school on the general schools budget of an LEA depends on the use a school makes of centrally funded services as well as the size of its delegated budget, and data on this are not collected by the Department.
§ Mr. Tony LloydTo ask the Secretary of State for Education how much was spent per(a) primary and (b) secondary pupil in each LEA in England and on average in England as a whole in the most recent year for which figures are available in cash terms and in 1992–93 prices.
§ Mr. Robin SquireThe table shows LEA expenditure per pupil on pre-primary and primary pupils combined, and on secondary pupils in 1992–93, the latest year for which outturn figures are available. Equivalent information on grant-maintained schools is not available.

The figures have been derived from budget statements published by local education authorities under section 42 of the Education Reform Act in respect of the financial year 1994–95, and received by the Department prior to 17 October 1994. The percentages have been rounded in the the Table to one decimal place.
2. In the case of the inner London authorities (other than Westminster), the introduction of Local Management of Schools was deferred until April 1992, and the delegation requirements applicable to these authorities (marked * in the Table) differ from those applicable elsewhere.
§ Mr. DevlinTo ask the Secretary of State for Education how many(a) teachers and (b) administrators are employed by local education authorities in England according to the latest figures; and if he will list in rank order the ratio of teachers to administrators for each local education authority in England.
§ Mr. Robin SquireI will write to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
