§ Mr. Mike Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish in the Official Report table 7G (page 156), of Aspects of Secondary Education in England analysed by the six grades of performance defined in chapter 5 (page 68, paragraph 3.1) of that publication.
§ Dr. BoysonPublication of finer statistical detail than that already displayed in table 7G and discussed in the accompanying text would be neither appropriate nor significantly more informative. As the national secondary survey report indicates, Her Majesty's inspectorate's assessments were complex judgments involving many factors, and the presentation requested by the hon. Member would give an appearance of greater precision than is warranted by the data.
