§ Mr. Rossasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what action he has taken, following the Brunton Report, to ensure that educational courses given to pupils who do not embark on full five-year courses of secondary education are relevant to the needs and interests of those pupils.
§ Mr. NobleOn the publication of the Report, I wrote to the educational bodies concerned commending its main theme, and asking for comments on matters of detail. After receiving these, I issued a second circular in April outlining specific action to be taken by education authorities and the Department whose Inspectors are following up its recommendations. I am sending copies of both circulars to the hon. Member.
