HC Deb 25 November 1987 vol 123 c199W
Mr. Pawsey

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps he takes to discover the number of surplus places in primary and secondary schools in a local authority which has put up to him a proposal for school reorganisation.

Mr. Dunn

It is for local education authorities to provide details where appropriate of the number of surplus places in the schools affected by statutory reorganisation proposals. Where this information is not provided, LEAs are asked to supply it.
