HC Deb 20 March 1996 vol 274 c222W
31. Mr. Atkins

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment when she last met the Secondary Heads Association to discuss standards in education. [20156]

Mr. Robin Squire

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State meets the Secondary Heads Association from time to time to discuss a range of issues. There is no record of a recent meeting relating specifically to standards in education.

Representatives of the SHA met with officials to discuss matters relating to standards in education on 28 February 1996. I shall be meeting the SHA shortly to discuss its paper "Towards More Effective Schools".
