§ 62. Mr. Lewisasked the Minister of Education to give the number of grammar school places that are available in Harlow, Essex, to students who have just taken the 11-plus examination, the number of students who sat for the examination, and the number who attained the standard but for whom places were not available; and how these figures compare with Edmonton, Tottenham, and the country generally.
§ Mr. Geoffrey LloydBy next September four secondary schools in Harlow will offer grammar or technical courses to selected pupils. These courses are not restricted to Harlow children, nor are Harlow children who qualify for courses of this kind confined to a choice of one of these schools. 726 children from Harlow took the Authority's tests this year; grammar or technical courses will be available to all who qualify.
I am sending the hon. Member a copy of List 69 which shows the distribution of children between different types of secondary school in the area of each local education authority. I have no figures for the separate parts of such areas.
