HC Deb 30 March 1999 vol 328 c635W
Mr. McLoughlin

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will list in ascending order the difference between income and expenditure for school meal services for each county over the last 10 years. [79365]

Ms Estelle Morris

This question cannot be answered in the form in which it has been tabled. Expenditure and income for the school meal service will inevitably vary according to the proportion of children entitled to free school meals and of children attending grant-maintained schools in the area of each Local Education Authority.
