HC Deb 23 January 1984 vol 52 c432W
20. Mr. Grist

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will give the numbers of schoolchildren in Wales reaching the upper three grades in O and A-level examinations, respectively, in foreign languages in 1983; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Stradling Thomas

The information is not available in the form requested. Of the total number of subject entries in 1983 for foreign language examinations at WJEC centres, 527 were awarded the top three grades at 'A' level and 5,112 at 'O' level. These figures include entries from further education colleges and from external candidates as well as those from schools.
