§ 37 Mr. J. Johnsonasked the Minister of Education what steps she is taking to reduce the numbers of pupils who are leaving the grammar schools when they attain the statutory age of 15 years.
§ Miss HorsbrughI understand that the Central Advisory Council for Education (England) has almost completed the inquiry to which I referred in my answer to the hon. Member for Itchen (Mr. Morley) on 29th January, 1953. When I receive the Council's Report, I shall consider how a further reduction can best be encouraged.
