HC Deb 18 April 2002 vol 383 cc1123-5W
Mr. Breed

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what proportion of rural(a) primary and (b) secondary schools are located (i) within 5 km, (b) 5 to 10 km, (c) 10 to 15 km and (d) more than 15 km from the nearest settlement with under 3,000 people. [46457]

Mr. Timms

[holding answer 15 April 2002]: I am not aware of any schools which are more than five km from the nearest house. It is likely, therefore, that all primary and secondary schools fall in category (i).
