HC Deb 16 October 2001 vol 372 cc1175-6W
Mr. Djanogly

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills for each year since the area cost adjustment was introduced, what the standard spending assessment for each pupil was in(a) Bedfordshire, (b) Hertfordshire and (c) Cambridgeshire. [6106]

Mr. Timms

The table shows for 1998–99 to 2001–02 the education SSA per pupil for Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire. It is not possible to produce comparable figures for earlier years, because Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire were subject to local government reorganisation.
