HC Deb 16 April 1986 vol 95 cc383-4W
Mr. Stern

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list those education authorities which have still not submitted acceptable schemes for lunchtime supervision for 1986–87; and if he proposes to extend the present deadline for submission of such schemes.

Mr. Dunn

The following LEAs have submitted schemes for midday supervision for 1986–87 which are still under consideration:

  • Barnet
  • Enfield
  • Hillingdon
  • Kingston
  • Merton
  • Coventry
  • Wolverhampton
  • Wakefield
  • North Tyneside
  • Cambridgeshire
  • Hertfordshire
  • Humberside
  • North Yorkshire
  • Oxfordshire
  • Shropshire
  • Suffolk
  • Cumbria
  • Newcastle
  • Cheshire
  • Hounslow
  • Sandwell
  • Gateshead

The following LEAs have submitted no schemes for 1986–87 but some of them are understood to be submitting proposals to their education committees shortly:

  • Brent
  • Haringey
  • Harrow
  • Sutton
  • Walsall
  • Knowsley
  • Sefton
  • Wirral
  • Rochdale
  • Salford
  • Stockport
  • Tameside
  • Trafford
  • Wigan
  • Barnsley
  • Rotherham
  • Calderdale
  • Kirklees
  • Leeds
  • Isles of Scilly
  • Avon
  • Dorset
  • Lancashire
  • Havering
  • Liverpool
  • St. Helens
  • Doncaster
  • Bradford
  • Sunderland
  • Derbyshire
  • Isle of Wight
  • Leicestershire
  • Lincolnshire
  • Northumberland

My right hon. Friend is prepared to be flexible about the deadline for the submission of schemes for 1986–87, but I hope that those LEAs which have not yet done so will very shortly submit proposals for schemes of midday supervision which qualify for ESG.
