HC Deb 26 February 1998 vol 307 cc363-4W
Mr. Cawsey

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many pupils living within the local education authority boundaries of(a) North Lincolnshire and (b) the East Riding of Yorkshire currently receive subsidised private education via the assisted places scheme; and how many will do so from 1 September. [31465]

Mr. Byers

Information about the local education authority area from which assisted pupils originate is not collected centrally. There are no schools participating in the assisted places scheme in the North Lincolnshire LEA area. Two schools participate in the East Riding of Yorkshire LEA area with 196 assisted pupils the current academic year 1997–98 and an estimated 166 assisted pupils at the start of the next academic year 1998–99.
