HC Deb 11 August 1966 vol 733 cc382-3W
41. Mr. J. E. B. Hill

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what inquiries are currently taking place into aspects of comprehensive education; what are their terms of reference; and when they will be completed.

Mr. Crosland

I have set on foot a programme of long-term research into methods of organising and running comprehensive schools. I am sending the hon. Member copies of statements released to the Press on 30th September and 16th December, 1965, which describe the objects of this research and the way it is being organised. The work will extend over several years and no date has been fixed for its completion. Progress reports will be published from time to time.
