2 GAD estimates of the population.
3 Owing to the raising of the school leaving age, the total numbers of school leavers was unusually low, and percentages based on this figure would be unrepresentative.

Mr. Dunn

The latest available information is contained in paragraph 7(ix) and paragraphs 39–41 of the 1986 annual report by Her Majesty's inspectorate and is based on school visits. A copy of the report is in the Library of the House. The Department does not hold detailed systematic information for individual schools across LEAs.
