HC Deb 21 December 1999 vol 341 c551W
Sir Sydney Chapman

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment, pursuant to his answer of 1 December 1999,Official Report, column 227W, what was the proportion of out-of-borough pupils attending primary and secondary schools in Barnet in each of the last five years. [103008]

Ms Estelle Morris

[holding answer 20 December 1999]: Information on the number of out-of-borough pupils educated in schools in Barnet is not collected in the form requested.

The numbers of pupils educated in Barnet by school type is derived from returns made by schools to the Department in January each year. A separate survey collects information on the overall number of out-of-borough pupils in schools but these figures are not collected by school type and are therefore not directly comparable with the January figures.
