asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what information he has for each local education authority as to (a) the total amount allocated for the incidental expenses of (i) school uniforms, (ii) school travel and (iii) free school meals, (b) the average amount per pupil receiving such help for each of the above categories and (c) the average amount per school in respect of each category; and if he will express the last figure as a percentage of the average capitation income for a school.

I refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Wansbeck (Mr. Thompson) on 14 May 1985 at columns 100–102 for the net cost to each local education authority of providing children with transport between home and school. Information on the other items is not collected by the Department.
