Mr. Montgomery

asked the Minister of Education what percentage of State schools are equipped wtih television sets.

Sir D. Eccles

I understand that 2,500 schools are registered with the B.B.C. to use their school television programmes and 1,740 are registered for independent television programmes. These may overlap. There are 30,000 maintained schools and departments in England and Wales.
