§ Mr. Jannerasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will now institute a survey of educational standards in city schools, particularly with regard to size in relation to the nature of the catchment areas served.
§ Mr. DunnNo. The Department's circular 2181 contains advice on school sizes which applies to all areas. That advice drew upon the judgments of HM Inspectorate based on all forms of inspection including their national surveys of primary and secondary education.
