HC Deb 24 January 1995 vol 253 c163W
17. Mr. Luff

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if she will make a statement on the education standard spending assessment of Hereford and Worcester county council.

Mr. Robin Squire

The increase in Hereford and Worcester's education standard spending assessment for 1995–96 is higher than the national average. Allowing for the reform of inter-authority recoupment, the authority's provisional education SSA will be 2.3 per cent. higher than in 1994–95.
