HC Deb 05 November 1970 vol 805 c421W
58. Mr. Cormack

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will take steps to increase the number of direct grant schools.

Mrs. Thatcher

I am still consulting with the Direct Grant Joint Committee on the general question of the future of direct grant schools and am not yet ready to make a statement. At present my main concern is with existing direct grant schools.
