(4) what is the current per capita expenditure for pupils in (a) primary schools and (b) secondary schools in Shropshire. [24428]
§ Mr. BlunkettSchools do not receive per capita funding directly from the Government, but local education authorities receive resources through the SSA system. The table sets out the provisional primary and secondary SSA per pupil for Southwark and Shropshire in 1998–99 and the equivalent final figures for 1997–98. The latter figure for Shropshire is based on what it would have received if local government reorganisation had taken place a year earlier.
