§ 44. Mr. Tony Lloydasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he issues any guidance about the proportion of pupils who go to grammar schools to those local education authorities where selection still takes place.
§ Mr. DunnNo. It is for local education authorities which retain selective secondary education to decide what criteria to adopt in considering whether pupils are suitable for admission to grammar schools. The proportion of pupils attending such schools will necessarily vary from time to time and place to place.
