§ Mr. Carmichaelasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many applications for admission were made in 1963 and 1964 to each of the Glasgow fee-paying schools; and how many children in each case were accepted.
§ Mr. RossAdmission to fee-paying schools managed by Glasgow education authority is at the discretion of the head teachers concerned and information on applications and acceptances is not recorded centrally. I shall, however, obtain the information and send it to my hon. Friend.
§ Mr. Carmichaelasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish the amount of fees payable by pupils in each of the corporation fee-paying schools in Scotland and the estimated cost to the education committees of maintaining each pupil in the primary classes and in the fourth year of the secondary course, respectively.
§ Mr. RossI shall send my hon. Friend details of fees charged at education authority fee-paying schools. The estimated cost of maintaining pupils at particular stages of their courses is not available and I do not think that I would be justified in asking education authorities to undertake the work that would be involved in making estimates.
