HC Deb 17 November 1970 vol 806 c383W
57. Mr. Marks

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science which local education authorities have informed her that they do not intend to proceed with the reorganisation of secondary education on comprehensive lines.

Mrs. Thatcher

None. Circular 10/70 conferred greater freedom on authorities to determine the shape of secondary provision in their areas and many are still reviewing their position. I believe that this opportunity has been generally welcomed.
