§ Mr. Hobdenasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what was the percentage number of primary school children reaching grammar school in the county borough of Brighton for the years 1963, 1964 and 1965; and how this figure compares with other county boroughs in the country.
§ Mr. CroslandInformation is not available in the form requested. List 69, published annually by my Department, gives the percentage of 13 year-old pupils, for whom local education authorities are financial)/ responsible, in schools of different types. The figures for 1964, to be published next month, show pupils in grammar (including direct grant grammar) schools to have been 16.2 per cent. of pupils in Brighton, and 19.5 per cent. in all county boroughs in England and Wales.
