HC Deb 17 July 2003 vol 409 c628W
Mr. Beggs

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when he last met representatives from the(a) Primary Principals Association of Northern Ireland and (b) Grammar School Principals; and what plans he has to meet each group in the future. [125536]

Jane Kennedy

The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and his Ministers have not met with representatives from the Primary Principals Association of Northern Ireland or with Grammar School Principals.

However, officials from the Department of Education last met with representatives from the Primary Principals Association of Northern Ireland on 25 March 2003. Although there is no officially recognized grouping of Grammar School Principals, the Minister and officials meet regularly with individual principals from grammar schools and with organisations, which include principals of grammar schools such as the Secondary Heads Association.

There are no plans at present for the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland to meet with representatives from the Primary Principals Association of Northern Ireland or with Grammar School Principals.
