Mr. Ruane

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what were the(a) percentage and (b) actual changes in the national education budget for each of the past 10 years. [113194]

Mr. Blunkett

[holding answer 6 March 2000]: Details of the percentage and actual changes in UK education expenditure in real terms for 1994–95 to 2001–02 are given in the table. The figures are taken from table 1.4 of Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses 1999–2000 (Cm 4201). Comparable figures for earlier years could be produced only at disproportionate cost.
