HC Deb 21 November 1963 vol 684 c133W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Minister of Education what advice his Department has given to local education authorities about the abolition, modification or retention of the 11-plus examination.

Sir E. Boyle

No formal advice has been given. But I have made known my view that the strictly educational case for moving away from formal methods of selection is now well established.
