HC Deb 19 October 1989 vol 158 c247W
Mr. McAllion

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what provision has been envisaged for pupils studying standard grade subjects in which the minimum time of four times 40 minutes per week for two years cannot be found because of time required to complete the residential and work experience elements of TVEI.

Mr. Lang

The guidelines on curriculum design in secondary education issued by the SCCC with the approval of my right hon. and learned Friend in July take full account of the requirements of TVEI, and no such problem as the hon. Member envisages should arise.
