Mr. John David TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the total number of(a) pupils and (b) non-Protestant pupils at each of the 150 secondary schools designated as Protestant in the Department of Economic Developments publication "Classification of Schools for Monitoring Purposes".
§ Dr. MawhinneyThe total number of pupils enrolled in January 1987 at each of the secondary schools designated in the Department of Economic Development's publication as being attended mainly by Protestant pupils is shown in a table, a copy of which I have placed in the Library. (23 of the schools in the printed list no longer exist, but were included as their former pupils are still in the labour market.)
The Government do not collect statistics on the religious affiliation of individual pupils. It is not therefore possible to provide figures for the number of non-Protestant pupils at any school.
