§ Sir Anthony DurantTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what was the money sum and proportion of the standard spending assessment or its678W equivalent, allocated to each English local education authority in (a) 1974, (b) 1979 and (c) 1990 and for latest available year, for education purposes; and what was the actual expenditure and proportion of the local authority's budget spent on education in each of those years. [13821]
§ Mr. Robin SquireI am placing in the Library tables that show for each local education authority, for the financial years 1990–91 and 1993–94—the latest available—total standard spending assessments and education SSAs, and total expenditure and education expenditure. Data in a similar form are not available for 1974 or 1979. Both SSA and spending figures include provision for grant-maintained schools. These figures have not been adjusted on account of any change in functions between the two years.
