Mr. Laws:
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many pupils were (a) temporarily and (b) permanently excluded from English (i) infant schools, (ii) primary schools, (iii) secondary schools and (iv) colleges in each year since 1990-91, broken down by age; and if he will make a statement. [149148]
Kevin Brennan:
The available information on fixed term and permanent exclusions is contained in the following tables. The breakdown of infant schools and colleges requested is not available.
Information is not available back to 1990-91. Data were collected for earlier years for permanent exclusions but not published as part of the most recent Statistical First Release.
