§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if, in view of Her Majesty's inspectorate report and survey of music in the primary schools in Flint and Colwyn Bay, he will release extra funds to the Clwyd local education authority to facilitate the increased in-service training of teachers of music; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsThe funding of in-service training for music teachers is entirely within the discretion of local education authorities. The Clwyd authority can draw upon the £1.14 million allocated to it in the current year for its locally determined training priorities. This expenditure attracts a 50 per cent. grant from the Department. The authority is free to spend more than this amount on in-service training for teachers, but expenditure above the £1.14 million would not attract grant.
