§ Mr. BradyTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will make a statement regarding the future of grammar schools in the borough of Trafford. [117860]
§ Ms Estelle MorrisThe Government have always been clear that we do not wish to see the 11–plus extended. However, we believe it is for parents to decide whether or not they want a vote, whether or not to keep the 11–plus. The decision is and remains one for parents in Trafford as anywhere else.
