§ Mr. LOWTHasked the President of the Board of Education the number of children who applied for and passed the entrance examination for admission to secondary schools, and the number, if any, of such children who were refused admission to such schools?
§ Lord E. PERCYI have not the information asked for, but the hon. Member may be interested to know that the number of admissions to grant-earning secondary schools this term was about 65,750, as compared with about 64,250 a year ago.
§ Mr. LOWTHasked the President of the Board of Education what accommodation is available in secondary schools per head of the number of children attending elementary schools?
§ Lord E. PERCYI am unable to give the information asked for, since the Board do not fix a maximum figure of accommodation for secondary schools. The hon. Member will, however, find some relevant figures given in Tables 62, 71 and 72 of the Board's latest Statistical Volume.
