HC Deb 17 February 1987 vol 110 c569W
24. Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations he has received in support of the expansion of grammar schools; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Rumbold

My right hon. Friend receives such representations from time to time, usually in connection with proposals for the closure of grammar schools made under section 12 of the Education Act 1980.
