HC Deb 07 December 1950 vol 482 c81W
Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Minister of Education what is the total number of fee-paying independent schools; and how many of these have been inspected to date.

Mr. Tomlinson

My information is that there are rather more than 5,000 independent schools in England and Wales, and of these nearly 4,000 have so far been inspected.
