§ Mr. ÖpikTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how much was spent per pupil in(a) primary schools and (b) secondary schools in each local education authority in 1997–98. [51748]
§ Mr. ByersInformation on the expenditure per pupil in primary and secondary schools in England at the end of the financial year 1997–98 is not yet available centrally. It will be available when local education authorities publish their out-turn statements in the Autumn. I will write to the hon. Member in due course, and a copy of my letter will be placed in the Library.
