HC Deb 19 February 1985 vol 73 c421W
44. Mr. Tony Lloyd

asked 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. Dunn

No. 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.
