HC Deb 05 August 1976 vol 916 c921W
Sir Raymond Gower

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what percentage of GCE O-level candidates in Welsh schools obtained two or more grade one passes in 1965; and what were the respective equivalent percentages for each of the previous eight years.

Mr. Barry Jones

I understand from the Welsh Joint Education Committee that the information requested for 1965 could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. The committee introduced the system of gradings at "O" level only in 1965 and corresponding information for earlier years is not available.
