To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list all local education authorities in England in rank order of expenditure per secondary pupil per year, starting with the higher spending authority, together with their position in the table of examination results for school leavers achieving grades A-C at GCSE in 1989 and 1990.
[pursuant to his reply 8 February 1991, columns. 257–60]: It appears that some of the information supplied was not published fully in the Official Report.The correct answer should read as follows:The following table gives the net institutional expenditure per secondary school pupil in the financial year 1988–89, and averaged examination results for three years 1986–87 to 1988–89. The purpose of averaging is to reduce sampling error within the derived percentages. Comparable information is not yet available for 1989–90.

Notes to table:
1. Net institutional expenditure includes the cost of salaries and wages, premises, and certain supplies and services. It does not include the cost of school meals, central administration, debt charges or revenue contributions to capital outlay.
2. The expenditure figures are based on LEA expenditure returns to DOE and pupil number returns to DES. N/A denotes that an expenditure return has not been received from an LEA.
3. The examination data are aggregated from the results of a sample survey for the academic years 1986–87, 1987–88 and 1988–89. The survey is based on a 10 per cent. sample of pupils in maintained and independent schools (excluding special schools) who have reached the minimum
school leaving age. The percentages quoted do not reflect the achievements of pupils at O-level, CSE or GCSE after leaving school; nor their attainments in examinations leading to vocational or other qualifications at school or elsewhere. The data includes grades A-C at O-level and CSE grade 1.
