HC Deb 12 February 1985 vol 73 cc129-31W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list all local education authorities in England, indicating in each case whether (a) a fully comprehensive system operates, (b) a fully selective system operates, or (c) whether some combination of selective and comprehensive system operates.

Mr. Dunn

[pursuant to his reply, 11 February 1985, c. 7]: Information is not available in the form requested. Some local education authorities, while not maintaining any grammar schools, do maintain some schools which fall into the category of "other secondary" schools and cannot therefore be regarded as being fully comprehensive. The table shows those authorities which at January 1984 maintained no grammar schools and those which maintained at least one grammar school. All authorities maintained at least one comprehensive school.
