HC Deb 26 July 1977 vol 936 c135W
41. Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what was the total number of pupils who took GCE O-level English language in June/July 1977.

Miss Margaret Jackson

I regret that figures for 1977 are not yet available from examination boards. However, in 1976 there were 452,179 entries at O-level in English language.
