To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what proportion of children in (a) England and (b) Northern Ireland achieved five A* to C grade GCSEs including English and mathematics in the last five years for which data is available.

The information requested is not available.
The number of pupils achieving the individual subject components of the English Baccalaureate is available from the 'Revised GCSE and equivalent results in England: 2014 to 2015' statistical first release[1]. This refers to 2015 revised data.
The Department for Education produces statistics on England only. The responsibility for education statistics in Northern Ireland lies with Northern Irish devolved administration.
