HC Deb 06 May 1971 vol 816 cc411-2W
Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the total number of new school places provided in each divisional executive area of the West Riding during the last five years.

Mr. van Straubenzee

This information is not collected by the Department. The hon. Member may therefore wish to consult the local education authority direct.

Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) what are the present pupil-teacher ratios in both primary and secondary schools in each division of the West Riding;

(2) what is the number of pupils of statutory school age in each West Riding division;

(3) what is the number of classes of more than 40 pupils in primary schools and of more than 30 pupils in secondary schools in each division of the West Riding.

Mr. van Straubenzee

Information about divisional executives is not readily available in the Department but may be obtainable from the local education authority.
