HC Deb 17 April 1969 vol 781 c278W
27. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what further proposals he has for Government action to ensure the ending of the 11-plus examination, including action in relation to local education authorities who are introducing banding at 11-plus; and if he will make a statement.

Miss Bacon

My right hon. Friend has already told the House that the next major Education Bill will provide that secondary education shall be non-selective. I cannot yet speak of detailed provisions.
