§ Mr. BeggsTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the estimated number of children of compulsory school age who work part-time; and if he will make a statement on the survey recently carried out by the North-Eastern education and library board on pupils working part-time.
§ Dr. MawhinneyThe information requested is not available. It would be premature to comment on the survey undertaken by the North-Eastern education and library board until that board has completed its own consideration of the matter and submitted its views to the Department of Education.
