§ Mr. J. E. B. Hillasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will give the numbers and percentages of the direct grant and independent schools listed in Statistics of Education, Part I 1967, Table 1 [1], lines 19 to 34, which have charitable status and are eligible for a refund of selective employment tax.
§ Miss BaconAll direct grant schools are, or form part of, charities.
I regret that the information relating to independent schools is not readily available and could not be obtained without a disproportionate expenditure of time and effort.
