HC Deb 23 November 1978 vol 958 cc675-6W
Mr. Farr

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will publish a table, from international sources available to her, listing those countries in order where a higher proportion of students take up education beyond the age of 16 years, than is the case in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Oakes

The figures will take time to compile from international sources and I shall write to the hon. Member.
