HC Deb 19 May 1992 vol 208 c108W
Mr. Jacques Arnold

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will make a statement on the contribution made to education by grammar schools.

Mr. Forth

Many grammar schools are centres of excellence and make a significant contribution to the education of our children. High educational standards are not, however, uniquely associated with any one particular type of school system and examination results vary widely between individual schools, whether selective or non-selective.
