§ Mr. Terry Walkerasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science when his officials will visit the Kingswood constituency to discuss the future structure of comprehensive education in the area, and if he will ensure that they consult the Avon county councillors for the area on this subject at the same time.
§ Mr. ArmstrongMy officials will pay a routine visit to Avon on 12th and 13th December, in the course of which they will see certain schools in the Kingswood constituency. It would not be appropriate for them to seek to discuss a future comprehensive structure with the councillors for the area in advance of the formulation of plans by the Avon County Council as the local education authority.
