HC Deb 21 July 1986 vol 102 cc3-4W
Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether he will make a statement on the O-level pass rate expressed as a percentage of the total school population in Northern Ireland at the latest date for which figures are available.

Dr. Mawhinney

I shall reply to the hon. Member as soon as possible.

Hostel accommodation is not normally registered as the Act exempts premises which are not operated primarily for gain and are run by a charitable organisation.

The Government recently published a proposal for a draft Health and Personal Social Services and Public Health (Northern Ireland) Order which will enable the Department of Health and Social Services to provide for the registration and inspection of common lodging houses by health and social services boards.
