HC Deb 04 December 1990 vol 182 c58W
Mrs. Heal

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will change their conditions of service to allow teachers adequate time for planning, preparation and assessment resulting from the introduction of the national curriculum.

Mr. Eggar

The use of teachers' directed time, and in particular its division between teaching and non-teaching duties, is a matter for head teachers to decide.
