HC Deb 20 July 2001 vol 372 cc759-60W
Paul Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what estimate she has made of the number of exclusions from schools that arose from drug-related incidents in each year since 1997. [5885]

Mr. Timms

The Department does not keep records of the numbers of drug-related incidents leading to exclusion. In the absence of data it is impossible to make a reliable estimate.
