Mr. Peter Morrison

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the percentage of all children who gain entry to direct-grant schools.

Miss Joan Lestor

Statistics are not available in a form which would show the number of children entering direct grant grammar upper schools in a particular period. The percentage of all children in the age group normally in the first year of secondary education who were in direct grant grammar upper schools in January 1974 was 1.6.
