§ Mr. MaclennanTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps he will take to secure the continuity of the provision of music teaching services by local education authorities; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. EggarThe Government have no power to direct the way in which local education authorities plan their services within the resources available to them. We do, however, attach great value to the music support services, both for their intrinsic worth and because of their potential to contribute to the delivery of music within the national curriculum.
