Mr. Bishop
asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what was the number of grammar school places available at the beginning of the 1965 school year in the county of Nottingham; and what percentage this represented in relation to the number of children involved in the 11-plus selection.
Mr. Crosland
The statistics collected by my Department do not enable me to provide this information.
