HC Deb 17 January 1997 vol 288 c391W
Mr. William Powell

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many assisted places have been financed for pupils in each education authority, and at what public cost, in each of the last five years. [11077]

Mrs. Gillan

Information on the local education authority area in which assisted pupils reside is not collected centrally. Schools participating in the scheme recruit widely beyond the area in which they are situated and admit pupils from a number of different LEA areas.
