HC Deb 07 November 1996 vol 284 c627W
Mr. Spearing

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what estimates she has made of the resources available to each local education authority to provide(a) extra facilities, (b) extra teachers and (c) extra funds, over those allocated under local management of schools formulae, to be devoted to meeting the special behavioural and scholastic needs of pupils in mainstream (i) primary and (ii) secondary schools, not being schools already wholly devoted to the needs of pupils with innate disabilities. [2697]

Mr. Robin Squire

It is for the LEAs to decide how to allocate the resources at their disposal, for which Government provision is made in the light of the full range of LEAs' responsibilities.
