Standard Spending Assessments

Mrs. Peacock: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if she will list, by order of the sum involved, the figure per child represented by the 1996-97 education standard spending assessment for (a) primary and (b) secondary school children in each local education authority in England and Wales; and what were the figures for each year since 1979-80. [34442]

Mr. Robin Squire [holding answer 26 June 1996]: The information requested for English local education authorities from 1990-91 to 1996-97 is set out in the following table. Comparable figures are not available for the previous system of local government finance that applied before 1990-91. Figures for Welsh local education authorities are a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales.
