It would not be in accordance with established practice that I should furnish information in relation to expenditure from Votes in the public service other than those related to the Education group of Votes.
The total expenditure provided for in the Estimates (including Supplementary Estimates in the case of 1979) for the Education group of Votes for 1979 and 1980, excluding the subheads referred to is as follows
|
1979 |
1980 |

£148,372,900 |
£153,929,000 |
It would not be appropriate to make a calculation of a percentage change as between 1979 and 1980 at this stage as the amount for 1979 includes Supplementary Estimates.
