Mr. John D. TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what has been the total cost to public funds in each of the past three years of the Council for Catholic Maintained Schools; and what proposals he has to reduce this cost. [28219]
§ Mr. AncramThe information is as follows:
- 1992–93: £922,906
- 1993–94: £1,110,986
- 1994–95: £1,260,932
I am satisfied that the council's allocation are essential to enable it to carry out its responsibilities and I do not have any proposals at present to reduce its level of funding.
