§ Mr. CousinsTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will state(a) the primary school per pupil Standard Spending Assessment and (b) the secondary school per pupil Standard Spending Assessment for each English local education authority in 1999–2000 and 2000–01; and how many pupils (i) attract such Standard Spending Assessment and (ii) receive free school meals in each school sector and local education authority for the same years. [111352]
§ Ms Estelle MorrisI will place a table in the Library that shows the Standard Spending Assessment per primary pupil and per secondary pupil for each English local education authority in 1999–2000 and 2000–01. The number of primary pupils and secondary pupils used in calculating the Standard Spending Assessment for each local education authority for the same years is also given in the table. We are unable to provide for each sector the number of primary and secondary pupils who receive free school meals: the table therefore lists the proportion of children under 18 who are entitled to free school meals.
