HL Deb 14 January 1991 vol 524 c74WA
Baroness Blackstone

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What grading system is to be used in future for GCSE examinations; if there is to be a change in grades, how the new grades will correspond to the old grades; and whether the new grades will apply to all subjects or only to science and mathematics.

Baroness Blatch

With effect from summer 1994, the results of all GCSE examinations will be reported on the National Curriculum 10 level scale. There will be broad equivalence between the new scale and the existing A-G scale, as follows:
