§ Dr. BoysonPrecise information is not available in the Department. A recent publication by Her Majesty's Inspectorate "Technology in Schools"—HMSO, 1982—describes some aspects of technological studies in craft, design and technology departments in a sample of 90 schools in England and Wales, representing some 10 per cent. of the schools offering such courses. Technology may also form part of courses in other school subjects, especially science.
