HC Deb 27 March 1986 vol 94 cc559-60W
Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations he has received in respect of the procedures followed by his Department in the registration of a private school.

Mr. Dunn

428 independent schools provisionally registered with the Department in the last six years. The detailed information requested could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
