[2214]

Mr. Byers

The following table sets out the number of pupils aged 11ߝ15 in each English local education authority who were educated in maintained schools and who came from outside the area of the local education authority in which they were educated. These numbers are expressed as a percentage of the total numbers of pupils aged 11ߝ15 educated by the authorities. Data are available only for the academic years 1991ߝ92 and 1993ߝ94 and 1996ߝ97.

1. The 1996–97 figures for Avon, Cleveland, Humberside and North Yorkshire represent the position prior to Local Government reorganisation.
2. The import figures are gross figures and not net of exports to other authorities. Hence the figures for England are not zero.
3. In some cases where no data were available, the 1996–97 figures have been estimated on the basis of previous returns.
