Is not the Parliamentary Secretary aware that there has been an increase in the number of secondary school children? Does not the Ministry take this into account as well as the fact that in Newcastle-under-Lyme 37 per cent. of children aged 15 are staying on beyond the statutory age? Were these factors taken into account?
