HC Deb 19 October 1995 vol 264 c375W
Mr. Blunkett

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what is the current level of expenditure per pupil through(a) the special purpose grant (development) scheme in the grant-maintained school sector and (b) the grant for education support and training scheme in the local education association maintained school sector. [35809]

Mr. Robin Squire

For the current financial year 1995–96, each GM school can apply for up to £42.50 per pupil, or the part-year equivalent, for special purpose grant (development). LEA-supported expenditure under the grants for education support and training programme averages £37.27 per pupil in LEA-maintained primary, secondary and special schools. The two figures are not wholly comparable because of additional administrative costs and liability for VAT in the GM sector.
