HC Deb 13 April 1999 vol 329 c165W
Dr. Gibson

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will make it his policy to collect information on expenditure by local education authorities on school science. [79538]

Ms Estelle Morris

The Government have no plan to introduce such a policy. It is not practicable to isolate expenditure by local education authorities on specific areas of the curriculum. Decisions on the allocation of resources between curriculum areas are a matter for individual schools.
