§ 19. Mr. Flanneryasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if the number of children from maintained schools now attending private schools under the assisted places scheme is as he expected.

§ 54. Mr. Roy Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will ensure that no assisted places are available at any independent school that practises any discrimination against Welsh pupils or those of any other nationality.
