HC Deb 14 March 1967 vol 743 cc82-3W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Prime Minister whether he will consider making the Secretary of State for Education and Science responsible for approved schools to facilitate the education of children in them within the normal school system.

The Prime Minister

I am not convinced that so substantial a departure proved schools in England and Wales outlined in the White Paper "The Child, the Family and the Young Offender" (Cmnd. 2742) is desirable, but I would of course be happy to consider any representations my hon. Friend might care to make.
