Dr. Edmund Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she will list for each local education authority in England the total numbers of pupils in receipt of education in maintained nursery, primary and secondary schools in (a) September 1975 and (b) September 1976.

Miss Margaret Jackson

Figures of pupils in schools are collected only as at January each year. In January 1976 the total number of pupils—including the full-time equivalent of part-time—attending maintained nursery, primary and secondary schools in each authority's area is as shown below. Estimates for January 1977 have been published by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy and are available in the statistical section of the Library.
