HC Deb 29 July 1927 vol 209 c1680W
Mr. B. SMITH

asked the President of the Board of Education if he will state for England and Wales for 1926–27 the percentage of children leaving secondary schools who proceeded to the Universities?

Lord E. PERCY

In 1925–26, the latest year for which figures are available, the percentage was 4.8. In this connection, I would refer the hon. Member to paragraphs 104 and 294 of the Board's Annual Report for 1925–26.
