Sir Gerard Vaughan

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will take steps to establish, in respect of children shown as unable to read at the age of seven years, the correlation with(a) the socio-economic conditions of their home background and (b) the provision of under-fives schooling.

Mr. Eggar

The results of the 1991 assessments of seven-year-olds once published may provide the basis for further studies of the kind outlined by my hon. Friend.
