HC Deb 01 November 1948 vol 457 cc30-1W

Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Education what is the total number of schools at present recognised by his Department as direct grant schools; and how that figure compares with the number of direct grant schools in 1938.

Mr. Tomlinson

There are at present 165 grammar schools receiving direct grant from my Department. The corresponding figure in 1938 was 237.
