1. Figures are taken from schools' returns under the annual schools census. They include all nursery, primary, middle, secondary and special schools, city technology colleges and pupil referral units; including maintained, grant-maintained, non-maintained and independent schools.

2. The table shows numbers and percentages of pupils educated in schools in each LEA area. For any particular LEA, this will include pupils with statements placed by other LEAs, and exclude such pupils placed by the LEA in other areas.

Mr. Blunkett: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many appeal hearings have been considered by the special educational needs tribunal (a) in respect of each local education authority in England and (b) in total, in each year since the tribunal began operating. [15480]

Mrs. Gillan: The tribunal maintains records of the number of appeals registered--and decisions issued--rather than the number of appeal hearings.

The number of appeals registered for individual LEAs is set out in the table: 1,092 appeals against decisions by English LEAs were registered in 1994-95 and 1,551 in 1995-96. Some 40 per cent. of all appeals registered to date have been withdrawn before a hearing.

Appeals registered from 1 September 1994 to 31 August 1996
