Surplus School Places (Hansard, 28 February 1995)

HC Deb 28 February 1995 vol 255 c531W 531W

Mr. Martin
To ask the Secretary of State for Education what is the latest figure for surplus school places for Hampshire local education authority.

§ Mr. Robin Squire
In January 1994, there were 18,287–13 per cent.—primary surplus school places and 10,114–12 per cent.—secondary surplus school places in Hampshire LEA. The authority has recently completed a reorganisation which, together with pupil population growth, will have reduced the amount of surplus from these levels.
