HC Deb 10 March 1982 vol 19 cc406-7W
Mr. Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will seek to ascertain and publish the percentage of parental first choice against places available at the former Twyford high school, Ealing, for each of its final five years and for the first two years of life of the Twyford Church of England high school.

Dr. Boyson

I understand that parental first choice preferences for the former Twyford high school and the present Twyford Church of England high school were as follows:
