HC Deb 19 June 1952 vol 502 c108W
57. Mr. Chetwynd

asked the Minister of Education what number of pupils left grammar schools in 1951 before the age of 16 years in breach of undertakings given by parents; and whether she will introduce legislation to ban this practice.

Miss Horsbrugh

Information on the first part of the Question is not readily available. As regards the second part, I am not satisfied that this is a proper subject for legislation, but I would refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for lichen (Mr. Morley) last Thursday.
