HC Deb 07 March 1980 vol 980 cc348-9W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will tabulate in the Official Report the total numbers of primary and secondary school pupils, respectively, attending schools in each of the inner London boroughs, together with the borough totals, and the numbers estimated so to attend in 1984.

Dr. Boyson

My Department does not compile pupil numbers for each inner London borough, and I would refer the hon. Member to the Inner London Education Authority for the information requested. In January 1979, the latest date for which information is available, the total number of pupils for the Inner London Education Authority was:

Full-time pupils Part-time pupils
Maintained primary schools 175,744 9,811
Maintained secondary schools 169,366
Total 345,110 9,811
