Mr. J. Henderson
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what amount of money was spent on education in Scotland in the latest year for which figures are available; and what percentage increase this represents over 1951–52 after adjustment for changes in the value of money.
Mr. Brooman-White
The total spent by education authorities from revenue and by the Scottish Education Department in 1960–61 was about £90 million, an increase of about 60 per cent. over the cost in 1951–52, after adjustment for changes in the value of money.
