HC Deb 22 February 1988 vol 128 c14W
Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science, in the event of Inner London education authority abolition, what arrangements he intends to make for the supplies service and the percentage of customers who are local education authorities outside inner London.

Mr. Dunn

My right hon. Friend has made it clear that we wish to discuss with the inner London boroughs the future arrangements for services currently provided by ILEA on a Londonwide basis. The Supplies Organisation will be one such service. Information on the customers of the Supplies Organisation is not held centrally.

Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what plans he has for the providing of research and planning resources currently provided by the Inner London education authority should that authority be abolished.

Mr. Dunn

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 18 February at column648.
