§ 32. Mr. Flanneryasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he has any plans to allow the reintroduction of the 11-plus examination in areas where it has been abolished; and whether this will mean the reintroduction of the secondary modern school.
§ Dr. BoysonIt will be for local education authorities to decide the most appropriate form of organisation of secondary 73W education for their areas, and to submit proposals to my right hon. and learned Friend, wherever necessary, under section 13 of the Education Act 1944, as amended. My right hon. and learned Friend would expect to receive proposals only after the most full and thorough consultations had taken place with parents, teachers, schools and other parties concerned.
