§ 6. Mr. Moyleasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how long it was planned to take to provide all London's children with non-selective comprehensive secondary education under the proposals recently submitted to him and more recently withdrawn by the Inner London Education Authority; and how long he estimates it will take to provide the same educational coverage for every area in London on the basis of a purpose-built comprehensive school for its secondary school children.
§ Mr. CroslandThe proposals to which my hon. Friend refers did not include any precise time-table for their fulfilment. The rate at which they could have been implemented would have depended on a number of factors, including notably the size of future school building programmes. For the same reason I cannot make the estimate requested in the second part of the Question.
