HC Deb 26 February 1990 vol 168 c76W
Mr. Allan Stewart

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will place in the Library a list of those schools in Strathclyde region which are eligible to apply for self-governing status.

Mr. Lang

Any education authority school, other than a nursery school, for which a school board is established is eligible to call a ballot of parents on self-governing status. Information on which individual schools have boards is not held centrally, but provisional figures for Strathclyde suggest that almost all secondary schools, nine out of 10 primary schools and half the special schools in the region are eligible.
