HC Deb 16 May 1969 vol 783 c280W
Mr. J. E. B. Hill

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will give the numbers and percentages of the direct grant and independent schools listed in Statistics of Education, Part I 1967, Table 1 [1], lines 19 to 34, which have charitable status and are eligible for a refund of selective employment tax.

Miss Bacon

All direct grant schools are, or form part of, charities.

I regret that the information relating to independent schools is not readily available and could not be obtained without a disproportionate expenditure of time and effort.
