Deputy Le Pelley stood for election in support of selection at 11 and said he was still in favour of retaining an alternative system to replace the 11-plus.

The committee is collectively committed to rebuilding La Mare.

Deputy Le Pelley said the States report would return to the States by no later than June next year.
