HC Deb 25 November 1966 vol 736 c372W
Dr. Summerskill

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many local authorities have so far undertaken to introduce a comprehensive system of secondary education.

Mr. Redhead

My right hon. Friend it at present considering proposals for the introduction of comprehensive education from 62 local education authorities. 46 authorities already have a comprehensive system of secondary education either approved or in operation for the whole or part of their area.
