asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish a table showing, for each year, 1982–83 onwards, an analysis of capital allocations each year expressed as a percentage of expenditure bids submitted, broken down between (a) local education authorities in Greater London, (b) metropolitan district education authorities outside Greater London and (c) non-metropolitan county education authorities; and if he will make a statement.

[pursuant to his reply, 12 March 1987, c. 260.]: The information requested for the years 1984–85 to 1987–88 is given in the following table. Authorities were not asked for cash plans for 1982–83 or 1983–84. so percentage figures cannot be given for those years.
