Mr. Burns

To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families pursuant to the answer of 16 July 2007, Official Report, column 119W, on schools: Chelmsford, for what reasons he did not provide the requested figures for the Chelmsford borough council area; and if he will do so. (151442)

Jim Knight

Figures were requested for Chelmsford local authority area and because Chelmsford is not a local education authority area the reply provided information for Essex local authority area. I apologise that this was not made clear. Figures for Chelmsford district council are provided in the following table:
