To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how much was spent per pupil in Staffordshire (a) in primary schools and (b) in secondary schools in each of the past 25 years, at constant prices. [37671]
The table shows expenditure by Staffordshire local education authority on (a) pre-primary and primary pupils combined, and on (b) secondary pupils from 1974–75 and 1993–94, the latest year for which figures are available. Equivalent figures prior to 1974–75 are not readily available centrally. The figures differ from those in my answer of 28 February 1995, Official Report, column 536, because firm figures are now available for 1993–94, and because a revised GDP deflator has been applied.
