§ 15. Mr. Wallasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the total number of sixth forms in the East Riding of Yorkshire Local Education Authority; and how many pupils are in each of these sixth forms.
§ Miss BaconIn January, 1967, there were 18 sixth forms in the East Riding with a total of 884 pupils. With permission, I will circulate the figures for each school in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
§ Mr. WallDo these figures indicate that there will be a relatively large number of sixth forms and a relatively small number of pupils, which would be difficult to staff and equip? Is there not a case for a sixth-form college in the centre of the county?
§ Miss BaconI know that the hon. Member has an interest in the sixth-form college at Beverley, but, as I have told him, the East Riding Education Authority produced a scheme without the sixth-form college. I know that there were two opinions about the matter, but we accepted the scheme put up to us by the East Riding Education Authority.
