§ Mr. Lomasasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a further statement on those London and county boroughs with a population of 50,000 or more where the number of Commonwealth immigrant children exceeds 2 per cent. of all pupils in maintained primary and secondary schools; and if he will differentiate between the two types of school at January. 1968.
§ Miss BaconI welcome this opportunity of correcting certain of the figures which I gave to my hon. Friend in my Answer to his Question of 5th December, 1968. The errors arose in the act of transcribing and subtracting figures from two computer runs. I very much regret any inconvenience which has been caused by the inaccuracies.
The six corrected figures are indicated by an asterisk in the table which follows:
