HC Deb 17 December 1974 vol 883 cc370-1W
34. Mr. Bryan Davies

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps he is taking to ensure that voluntary aided schools participate fully in local authority comprehensive schemes.

Mr. Armstrong

Circular 4/74 asked local education authorities to inform my right hon. Friend by the end of this month of the successive measures to be taken to complete the process of reorganisation. We will expect information about the voluntary aided schools maintained by each authority to be included. When my right hon. Friend has received and considered the replies he will decide whether any further steps will be needed.
