HC Deb 13 May 1968 vol 764 cc192-3W
Mr. Eadie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what progress has been made by all local authorities in Scotland towards the organisation of comprehensive education.

Mr. Ross

All education authorities have submitted schemes of reorganisation which have now been wholly or substantially accepted. Implementation is going forward steadily; progress depends on widely varying local circumstances. Roughly speaking about half the secondary pupils are in schools which are now comprehensive.
