HC Deb 22 November 2001 vol 375 c454W
27. Mr. Hopkins

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what progress she has made with implementing the Government's class size policy for key stage 1. [14657]

Mr. Timms

On 15 November we announced that 99.5 per cent. of infants are now in classes of 30 or fewer. This is excellent news and means that, apart from permitted exceptions, now just 0.1 per cent. of the 63,000 infant classes have extra children.
