§ Mr. Montgomeryasked the Minister of Education how many senior pupils in England and Wales attend all-age schools; and how this figure compares with those for a year earlier and for five years earlier.
§ Sir D. EcclesIn January, 1960, there were 100,000 seniors in all-age schools, as against 119,00 in 1959 and 195,000 in 1955. Expressed as a proportion of all seniors the reduction over the five years has been from 9.2 per cent. to 3.5 per cent.
