HL Deb 22 February 2000 vol 610 cc21-4WA
Lord Peston

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the proportion of all primary school pupils in private education in each local education authority in England. [HL1064]

Baroness Blackstone

The proportion of pupils of primary school age in independent schools situated in each local education authority area in England is given in the table.

Independent schools are allocated to a local education authority if the school is geographically located within the local education authority area. The area of residence of the pupils attending an independent school may be different to the local education authority area to which the school has been allocated.
