HC Deb 23 November 1978 vol 958 cc741-2W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what proposals he has to ensure the democratic answerability of the educational body which will replace the Welsh Joint Education Committee in the Government's reorganisation of the examination system; and how many members of this body will be directly elected, indirectly elected and nominated, respectively

Mr. Barry Jones

Proposals for the establishment of a body to conduct the new system of examinations will be based on the principles set out in the White Paper "Secondary School Examinations—a single system at 16 plus". The Welsh Office will be discussing with the WJEC how these principles should be applied in Wales.
