HC Deb 18 April 2002 vol 383 cc1125-6W
Mr. Evans

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the spending per head for each of the last five years by each local authority in England was on the education of school pupils (a) of primary school age, (b) of secondary school age and (c) in further education. [48607]

Mr. Timms

The information requested for(a) primary school age and (b) secondary school age pupils for 1995–96 to 1999–2000 for which expenditure data are currently available, for each local education authority in England has been placed in the Libraries. School pupils have only exceptionally undertaken education in further education colleges and information for the amount spent on school pupils in further education is not available centrally. Further education colleges are not maintained by local education authorities.
