Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects information to be available on the number of places awarded under the assisted places scheme and the number of places awarded to pupils from fee-paying schools in 1982–83 at each participating school.

I expect to have the provisional totals available very shortly and to announce the details for each participating school before the end of November.
