HC Deb 23 May 1995 vol 260 c537W
18. Mr. Lidington

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if she will make a statement about the Government's policy towards selective grammar schools. [23828]

Mr. Robin Squire

The Government believe that schools which select pupils by ability, or which specialise in particular subjects, have an important part to play in giving parents a choice of schooling for their children.
