Mr. Anthony Coombs
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what proportion of schools in Northern Ireland base entry upon academic selection.
Mr. Hanley
Six per cent. overall. No primary schools base entry upon academic selection, but 30 per cent. of the schools which provide secondary education base entry on a pupil's ability as indicated by the grade obtained in the transfer procedure tests.
