Mr. Eldon Griffiths

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the number of children now in primary, middle and upper schools, respectively, in the administrative county of Suffolk; and what projections he has of the numbers there are likely to be in each category in each of the years 1983 to 1990.
