HC Deb 08 November 1962 vol 666 c87W
52. Mr. Sydney Irving

asked the Minister of Education how many independent schools catering for handicapped children have applied to him for recognition as efficient since the issue of Circular 4/61; how many have been so recognised; how many rejected; and how many have still to be inspected.

Mr. Chataway

Of 30 applications, six have been granted and three rejected. Five inspection reports are under consideration; 16 inspections have yet to be made. A further 15 independent schools known to cater wholly or mainly for handicapped pupils have still to apply for recognition.
