The expenditure information requested by the Deputy is not available on a regional basis.
However, based on the estimated number of full-time students at First, Second and Third Levels in the 2011/12 academic year, and the 2012 provisional outturn of expenditure for my Vote, an estimate of the spend per capita is contained in the following table.
