HC Deb 27 June 1968 vol 767 cc112-3W
Mr. Peter M. Jackson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science, in view of the fact that the scheme for the reorganisation of secondary education in the London Borough of Barnet, recently submitted to him, envisages an increase in voluntary school form entry of 58 per cent. compared with an increased in county school form entry of only 13½ per cent., with the result that the voluntary schools will account for 35½ per cent. of the total form entry, what reply he is sending to the parents who have lodged objections to the scheme.

Mr. Edward Short

These proposals are at present under consideration in my Department. The objectors have been informed that I shall give careful consideration to the point they have raised before I reach a decision on the Authority's plan.
