§ Mr. Wyn Robertsasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish tables comparing results obtained in CSE and O-level examinations by different types of secondary schools in Wales.
§ Mr. Barry JonesInformation about the examination achievements of school leavers is obtained by means of a 10 per cent. sample in both England and Wales. This gives sufficiently accurate results for all types of secondary school in Wales, but the numbers leaving schools other than comprehensives is now so low that the sample involves unacceptably high margins of error for these other types of school. A comparison on the lines requested cannot therefore be made.
