HC Deb 24 February 1997 vol 291 cc38-41W
Ms Rachel Squire

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the standard spending assessment per pupil in(a) primary and (b) secondary education in each year from 1991 to 1996 for each local education authority. [17252]

Mr. Kynoch

Standard spending assessments do not apply in Scotland. The equivalent figures for Scottish local authorities are grant aided expenditure assessments—GAEs. Information on relevant GAE per pupil is provided in the tables. Only the GAEs for teaching costs differentiate between primary and secondary education.
