Gainsborough MP Sir Edward Leigh has spoken of his fears that Lincolnshire's grammar schools could be threatened by changes to funding.
Sir Edward thinks the selective state schools could be forced to offer fewer A Level subjects in future now funding is linked to pupil numbers.
Changes in policy mean school sixth forms and further education colleges are allocated money depending on how many students are enrolled rather than the number of subjects they offer.
Sir Edward said he feared this would affect schools with large numbers of academically gifted pupils - many of them grammars, which have a selective intake.
