§ Ms. ArmstrongTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many surplus places there are in maintained schools in the primary and secondary sectors, in each local education authority.
§ Mr. DunnThe Department does not routinely collect information about the number of surplus places in individual local education authorities.
§ Ms. ArmstrongTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will place in the Library the relevant standard number for entry into each maintained school in 1979, and the admissions limit of each maintained school for 1986–87.
§ Mr. DunnThe Department does not have a central record of standard numbers or planned admissions limits for individual schools. LEAs and governors have a duty annually to publish planned admissions limits in respect of each school in their literature for parents, and some of this information is available to the Department. I would not consider it sufficiently complete to justify placing in the Library.
