HC Deb 10 February 1949 vol 461 cc94-5W
92. Mr. Skinnard

asked the Minister of Education how many local education authorities in England and Wales have submitted proposals for the establishment of comprehensive secondary schools; how many such schools are now functioning; and how many will be opened during 1949.

Mr. Tomlinson

Seven local education authorities have submitted proposals for comprehensive, as distinct from multilateral, secondary schools. Three such schools are now functioning. I cannot say whether any more will be opened during 1949.
