HC Deb 06 May 1980 vol 984 c13W
19. Mr. Bob Dunn

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the current position on proposals for a less academic public examination to be taken at the age of 17-plus.

Mr. Mark Carlisle

I am considering the recommendations in the Keohane report in the light of comments and alongside other proposals relating to examinations at 17-plus. However, I have not yet reached decisions on these complex issues.
