HC Deb 12 May 1966 vol 728 c109W
50. Mr. Arnold Shaw

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will now announce a date for the final elimination of the 11-plus examination.

Mr. Crosland

I have asked local education authorities to submit plans to me by July of this year for the reorganisation of their secondary schools on comprehensive lines. The date at which any particular authority can end selection at 11-plus will depend on the nature and timing of their own plan.
