HC Deb 15 February 1977 vol 926 cc159-60W
38. Miss Fookes

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science when she plans increases in lay representation on the Schools Council.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

The Council is undertaking a review of its rôle, constitution and structure, including the issue of increased lay participation, and I hope it will be completed later this year. My own views on these matters were put to the Council and published on 19th January in a memorandum, a copy of which was placed in the Library.
