§ 39. Dr. Michael ClarkTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations he has received from school governors on the proposals for local financial management of schools.
§ Mr. ButcherMy right hon. Friend has received a number of representations from school governors commenting on aspects of local management of schools (LMS). The majority of local education authorities are now formally consulting the governing bodies and head teachers of their schools on their draft LMS schemes. I am impressed by the level of commitment to the development of satisfactory schemes being demonstrated by both authorities and schools.
