§ Mr. Robin SquireInformation on the funding allocated by local education authorities to schools in 1995–96 by reference to the number and ages of their pupils is set out at appendix A in the volume "Education Statistics 1995–96 Estimates", published by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy, which is available in the Library. Information on funding allocated by reference to other factors is set out in appendix B. The Department has itself undertaken no collation and analysis which would add usefully to CIPFA' s.
