You did not answer the question in hand.
You gave further information to that which was asked for.
I'm sure if Mr Bayley wanted to know the GCSE grades plus equivalents he would of asked for them.
Why could you not split the table to show the GCSE results and the equivalents side by side with a cumulative column?

I'll actually stand up for the government for once here. The figures are collected for all equivalent qualifications for the office of national statistics league tables. To find out JUST the gcse results would require a full analysis of all the results from each school in the area, this would be timely and costly. In giving the results he has Jim Knight has supplied all the information available to him within the budgetary constraints put on written answers. It may not be exactly the answer requested, but it certainly beats "not collected centrally"
