§ Mr. DavidTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will make a statement on the numbers of pupils excluded from schools. [56347]
§ Mr. Ivan LewisOnly statistics on permanent exclusions from school are collected centrally. The statistical first release on exclusions published this morning shows that there were 9,210 permanent exclusions from school in England in the 2000–01 school year. Our priority now is to provide suitable full time education for permanently excluded pupils and we have a public service agreement target to ensure that all local education authorities offer this by September 2002.
