To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what will be the estimated cost of the projected increase in pupil numbers from April 1996 to March 1997. [11707]

The latest available estimate shows a 1 per cent. increase in pupil numbers next year. How they are accommodated, and at what cost, will depend on decisions made by local education authorities and schools. The cost should be well within the 4.5 per cent. increase in provision for education made by the Government.
