HC Deb 26 July 1993 vol 229 c610W
Mr. Cryer

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what is the total number of representations he has received about testing in schools so far in 1993; and what was the proportion(a) in favour and (b) against.

Mr. Robin Squire

Since the beginning of the year my right hon. Friend has received about 10,000 letters on the subject of testing in schools. They cover a number of different issues. The Department does not keep statistical information about their content.
