Answer

Mr. McLoughlin: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how much was spent per pupil in (i) Derbyshire, (ii) Nottinghamshire, (iii) Staffordshire, (iv) Surrey and (v) Hertfordshire in (a) primary schools and (b) secondary schools in each of the last five years at constant prices from all public sources of funds. [79363] Ms Estelle Morris: [holding answer 30 March 1999]: The following table shows net institutional expenditure on LEA maintained schools for the years 1993-94 to 1997-98, the latest year for which figures are available. Figures have been calculated using December 1998 Gross Domestic Product deflators. The table also shows notional figures for 1998-99 and 1999-2000, based on an assumption that the expenditure of the authorities in question in 1997-98 escalates at the same rate as their respective SSA increases for those years.
