Grant-maintained Schools
Mr. Henderson : To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will give approval for a school opting out of local authority control where a local authority proposes to close that school as part of a review of surplus places.
Column 608
Mr. Robin Squire : We have made it clear recently that my right hon. Friend would not normally aprove an application for grant-maintained status from a school already proposed for closure as part of a rationalisation scheme, particularly where the school concerned had a large number of surplus places.
Mrs. Anne Campbell : To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list the higher education institutions which are providing in- service training for teachers from grant-maintained schools.
Mr. Robin Squire : This information is not collected centrally.
Mrs. Ann Campbell : To ask the Secretary of State for Education how long grant-maintained schools will be able to rely on the facility to bring in services from their local education authority once grant-maintained status has been approved.
Column 609
Mr. Robin Squire : This will vary from authority to authority. There is provision in the current Education Bill to enable grant-maintained schools to trade with LEAs for two years beyond what current legislation allows.
Mr. Byers : To ask the Secretary of State for Education what is his policy on officials of his Department participating in meetings for parents or members of the public concerning grant-maintained status other than those meetings organised by his Department.
Mr. Robin Squire : The Department's activities in providing information on grant-maintained status are governed by a code of conduct, a copy of which is in the Library. The detailed wording of that code is curr- 11P Mr. Byers : To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list those grant-maintained schools about which his Department has received representations from parents about (i) non-admission and (ii) exclusion of their children.
Mr. Robin Squire : The Department receives numerous letters and telephone inquiries from parents about matters relating to admission to and exclusion from maintained schools. The Department does not keep a record of every such inquiry.
Mr. Byers : To ask the Secretary of State for Education in what circumstances his Department will pay head teachers of
grant-maintained schools to attend as invited speakers at meetings on grant -maintained status other than at their own schools ; and what amount of funding would be paid in those circumstances.
Mr. Robin Squire : Headteachers of grant-maintained schools who are invited to speak at schools considering grant-maintained status about the arrangements for that and their own experiences may claim travel and subsistence expenses from the Department. Such expenses are reimbursed at normal public service rates.
Mr. Byers : To ask the Secretary of State for Education which grant- maintained schools have (a) applied for and (b) been approved to include as part of their admissions policy a process involving (i) pupil and (ii) parent interview ; and in which schools the admissions policy has remained unchanged since the school became grant maintained.
Mr. Robin Squire : It is common practice for church schools, whether or not grant maintained, to make use of an interview to help decide whether the religious ethos of the school would be appropriate for the child concerned. Other schools may have arrangements which involve a senior member of staff meeting parents and children prior to admission. Such interviews, which do not affect the child's chance of gaining admission, can be extremely valuable for all concerned. The great majority of grant- maintained schools do not use interviews as part of their formal admission procedures. Relatively few schools have applied for changes in admission arrangements, of whatever kind, since acquiring grant-maintained status.
Mr. Byers : To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list the amounts of payments made under section
Column 610
79(3)(a)(iii) of the Education Reform Act 1988 and under sections 79(3)(b) of the Education Reform Act 1988 to grant- maintained schools, giving in each case the name of the school and the purposes of the payments.Mr. Robin Squire : The only payment that has been made to grant- maintained schools under section 79(3)(a)(iii) of the Education Reform Act 1988 was to Kirkbie Kendal school. The amount was £22,000, and the funds were made available in recognition of extra expenditure incurred by the school on meeting the needs of statemented pupils. Tables giving the other information requested have been placed in the Library.
Mr. Byers : To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list the schools about which his Department has received representations from parents about the conduct of ballots held under section 61 of the Education Reform Act 1988.
Mr. Robin Squire : The Department does not collate information on representations received about the conduct of ballots held under section 61 of the Education Reform Act 1988, of which there have now been more than 1,240. Any complaints are considered individually on their merits.
Testing
Mr. Cryer : To ask the Secretary of State for Education what is the total number of representations he has received about testing in schools so far in 1993 ; and what was the proportion (a) in favour and (b) against.
Mr. Robin Squire : Since the beginning of the year my right hon. Friend has received about 10,000 letters on the subject of testing in schools. They cover a number of different issues. The Department does not keep statistical information about their content.
Standard Assessment Tasks
Mr. Cryer : To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will give the number of schools in each local authority out of the total number of schools in each case which have transmitted SAT results to their education authority.
Mr. Robin Squire : All primary schools maintained by a local education authority are required to send their key stage 1 test results to their authority for onward transmission to the Department. These must be sent to the authority by the end of the summer term. The end date for the authority's returns is 31 July. Secondary schools are required to submit their results through the GCSE examining groups by no later than 15 September. It is, therefore, too soon to have accurate figures on the number of schools that have transmitted their results as required.
Special Educational Needs
Mr. Win Griffiths : To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to his answer of 19 July, Official Report, columns 33-36 , when the information requested on pupils in schools for 1993 will be available.
Mr. Forth : This information from the January 1993 schools' census will become available towards the end of the year.
Column 611
Selection
Mr. Byers : To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list those grant-maintained schools which have (a) applied for and (b) been approved to include as part of their admissions policy (i) an element of selection based on pupils' ability or aptitude and (ii) a fully selective system of admissions based upon ability ; and if he will list those schools where the admissions policy has remained unchanged since the school became grant maintained.
Mr. Robin Squire : Most grant-maintained schools operate the admissions policies agreed at the time of incorporation. The schools which have subsequently applied for changes in respect of the selection of pupils by aptitude or ability are as follows : Approved for element of selection
Heathside school, Surrey
Southlands school, Berkshire
Langley Park school, Bromley
Beaverwood school, Bromley
Canterbury high school, Kent
Cooper's school, Bromley
Abbs Cross school, Havering
King Edward VI grammar school, Essex
Approved for fully selective intake
Queen Elizabeth grammar school, Cumbria
Application for element of selection pending
North Kesteven, Lincolnshire
Robert Pattinson school, Lincolnshire
Mill Hill school, Barnet
Budmouth school, Dorset
Application for fully selective intake not approved
Castle Hall school, Kirklees
Surplus School Places
Mr. Byers : To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list for each local education authority the latest estimate of the number of surplus school places in (a) primary and (b) secondary schools.
Mr. Forth : The table shows the number of surplus places in each local authority in England during the academic year 1990-91, the latest available figures. The figures are derived from information provided by LEAs in response to a survey by the Department.

Column 618
and if he will provide schools with a model of such guidance including information on HIV and AIDS and the responsibilities associated with them.Mr. Forth : My right hon. Friend has no powers to require schools to do so. We intend, however, to issue a circular of guidance which will encourage schools to offer support to those parents who do withdraw their children from all or part of sex education in deciding how best to provide their children with the information and guidance they will need.
Student Unions
Mr. Dafis : To ask the Secretary of State for Education what information he has on the number of (a) full-time and (b) part-time staff employed by each campus union in the United Kingdom.
Mr. Boswell : This information is not available centrally.
HOME DEPARTMENT
Immigration
Mr. Allen : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many persons detained under Immigration Act powers applied to his Department to be allowed to depart voluntarily under (a) the supervised departure provisions and (b) the voluntary departure provisions of the immigration rules in each quarter since January 1992.
Mr. Charles Wardle : The readily available information relates to persons subject to deportation action who were removed under the supervised departure procedures, or left voluntarily, and persons dealt with as illegal entrants who left voluntarily. This information is given in the table. Most of these persons will have been detained prior to departure. A number will have been subject to restrictions as an alternative to detention, but such cases could be separately identified only at disproportionate cost.
