HC Deb 17 December 1980 vol 996 c180W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the statistical information that is not collected by the Government relating to education in Wales which is available for England.

Mr. Michael Roberts

There are certain differences in detail in the statistical information relating to education collected by the Welsh Office for Wales and by DES for England, but there is no significant gap in statistical coverage of education in Wales vis-a-vis England. If the hon. Member is interested in the full range of statistics collected in this field, I refer him again to the "Guide to Official Statistics", produced by the Government Statistical Service.
