HC Deb 11 February 1999 vol 325 c330W
21. Mr. Steen

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will make a statement on his plans for the future status of grammar schools. [68893]

Ms Estelle Morris

Our Manifesto said that parents would decide the future admission arrangements of grammar schools. The Education (Grammar School Ballot) Regulations, which came into force on 3 December 1998, set out the arrangements to deliver that commitment.
