HC Deb 28 October 1975 vol 898 cc441-2W
Mr. Cordle

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish in the Official Report a table listing each and every school in England and Wales and stating the dates upon which the same have been subject to a detailed and thorough inspection by inspectors of schools.

Mr. Mulley

Responsibility for schools in Wales rests with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales. In

Mr. Mulley

The information of England and Wales is set out in the table below:

ployed by his Department; and what is the present recognised establshment for such inspectors.

Mr. Mulley

The figures are as follows:

England there are nearly 33,000 schools of which over 30,000 are maintained by local education authorities. To list these and give the dates on which they were inspected by Her Majesty's inspectors of schools would involve disproportionate cost.
