§ Miss Margaret JacksonLocal education authorities are not required to report this information to my Department, but I understand from the Inner London Education Authority that at the end of the school years 1975, 1976 and 1977 there were respectively 54, 54 and 55 secondary school pupils who had been expelled and who were awaiting placement in alternative schools.
