HC Deb 17 July 1996 vol 281 cc577-9W
Ms Estelle Morris

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if she will list for each local education authority in England the cash per pupil of the schools' budget spent on administration in 1995–96 and estimated to be so spent in 1996–97. [37512]

Mr. Robin Squire

The information set out in the following table is derived, for both years, from local management of schools budget statements produced by local education authorities.

Outturn figures for 1995–96 are not yet available. The budget figures for that year are as previously given on 28 February in my answer to the hon. Member for Rugby and Kenilworth (Mr. Pawsey), Official Report, columns 594–95.
