HC Deb 27 July 1979 vol 971 cc522-3W
Mr. Kinnock

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list in theOfficial Report the local education authorities which have intimated to him their intention to restore selection by reference to ability or aptitude as a means of secondary school admission.

Dr. Boyson

No proposals to restore selection by reference to ability or aptitude as a means of secondary school admission have been received by my right hon. and learned Friend. I understand that Bexley LEA is likely to submit proposals shortly to split Erith bilateral school into separate grammar and secondary modern schools.
