HC Deb 21 February 1978 vol 944 c639W
Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many pupils will take the 11-plus examination in Wales in 1978; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Barry Jones

I am advised that about 1,600 pupils in Wales will be subject to 11-plus selection in 1978. Reorganisation of secondary education to eliminate selection at 11 is already well advanced and will be completed as soon as resources will allow.
