§ 77. Mr. Awberyasked the Minister of Education if he is aware that 6,000 schoolchildren in Bristol will have to undergo another 11-plus intelligence test owing to typographical errors in the papers; why these were not detected before the examination; and what steps are being taken to prevent a recurrence.
§ Sir D. EcclesYes. The authority informs me that the error arose in the re-setting of type after the proofs of the test papers had been checked by the publishers and after specimen papers had been checked by the authority. The publishers and printers are revising their arrangements to prevent such a thing happening again.
