§ Mr. Greenwayasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many local education authorities have now published their schools' examinimation results for the year 1980–81; and whether parents and others concerned are able to obtain this data as required under the Education Act 1980.
§ Mr. William SheltonThe information is not available in the department. The Education (School Information) Regulations require the publication of examination results, for the first time in relation to the 1982–83 school year. Each year information must be published at least six weeks before parents choose schools to which their children are seeking admission in the autumn term.
