Ms. Armstrong

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list the fees charged in those schools involved in the assisted places scheme.

Mr. Fallon

Schools participating in the assisted places scheme charge assisted pupils the same fees as other pupils. Fee structures are related to pupils' age groups and differ considerably from school to school. Full details of schools' fees can be found in the directories published by the independent schools' associations, copies of which are held in the Library.
