HC Deb 10 March 1947 vol 434 c141W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Education what system of school management is to be finally adopted under the Education Act, 1944, as between the establishment of the multilateral school which the L.C.C. proposes to introduce and the system of primary and tripartite secondary schools; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Tomlinson

In the field of secondary education I do not envisage any uniform system over the country as a whole. I want to encourage variety and I shall welcome carefully conducted experiments in suitable cases with multilateral schools and the like, provided that they are designed to cater adequately for the needs of all the pupils.
