§ 92. Mr. Morleyasked the Minister of Education if he will state for the autumn terms, 1938 and 1948, respectively, the number of grammar school places in grant-aided schools in England and Wales expressed as a percentage of the number of children aged 10 and under 11 on the rolls of the primary schools.
§ Mr. TomlinsonIn October, 1938, there were 86,338 thirteen-year-old children on the registers of grant-aided grammar schools, equivalent to 13.5 per cent. of all children of that age in England and Wales. The comparable figures for January, 1948, were 109,304 children and 19.9 per cent., respectively.
