HC Deb 07 March 1966 vol 725 cc423-4W
Mr. Hamling

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what instructions have been given by his Department to local education authorities on guidance to head teachers in State-assisted schools in the drafting of reports on pupils' work and conduct.

Mr. Redhead

None.

Mr. Hamling

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will publish a memorandum to local authorities on the subject of reports made by head teachers in State-assisted schools on pupils' work and conduct, indicating the purpose of these reports and giving guidance in their preparation.

Mr. Redhead

I have no reason to think that local education authorities or schools are in need of guidance of this kind.
