HC Deb 09 December 1992 vol 215 c691W
Mr. Dunn

To ask the Secretary of State for Education how many secondary schools were entered in the recently published schools' examinations results tables; how many entries were incorrect and for what reason; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Forth

A total of 4,622 schools were included in the school performance tables published on 18 November. All complaints of incorrect figures are being investigated on a case by case basis. To date, the entries for some 16 schools have been found to be incorrect due to error on the part of the Department or its contractor. In all these cases, erratum slips are being issued and letters of apology sent to the schools concerned.
