HC Deb 17 July 1969 vol 787 c141W
8. Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many comprehensive schools were in operation at the last date for which figures are available; and what was the total in 1964.

Miss Bacon

There were 745 comprehensive schools in January, 1968, and I expect the figure in January, 1969 to be of the order of 900. In January, 1964 there were 195.
