§ 33. Dr. Boysonasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will set up an independent inquiry to collect, publish and comment on the academic results in local authorities before and after comprehensive reorganisation.
§ Mr. MulleyNo. I do not think that such a comparison would be helpful, since the academic results of pupils are affected by the whole of their education, not merely by the type of school they are attending when they sit a public examination.
