§ Mr. MilibandThe hon. Member will be aware from my answer to his earlier question on the grade boundaries for mathematics (123952) that information on grade boundaries is not routinely collected.
This is matter for QCA. Although QCA has access to detailed information on the grade boundaries set in all subjects at GCSE for each awarding body, further work will be required on this data to present it in the form requested. It will be lodged in the House of Commons Library in due course and will show the grade boundary marks for grades A*-G, 'U' does not constitute a grade it signifies an unclassified result.
