HC Deb 22 December 1981 vol 15 c397W
Dr. Edmund Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many submissions he has received in opposition to each proposal made under section 12 of the Education Act 1980 to cease to maintain a school.

Dr. Boyson

The information requested could not be supplied except at disproportionate cost; but of the 136 proposals to cease to maintain schools decided under section 12 of the Education Act 1980 up to 31 October 1981, 66 attracted one or more statutory objections.
