HC Deb 01 February 1994 vol 236 c674W
Mr. Peter Bottomley

To ask the Secretary of State for Education which local education authorities still have(a) a music advisory service and (b) an arts advisory service.

Mr. Robin Squire

The information on these discretionary services is not collected by the Department. It is the Government's policy that, wherever possible, decisions about the need for such services and how best to obtain them should rest with the schools. Local education authorities may provide them if there is sufficient demand locally.
