§ Mr. Roebuckasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what progress is being made to ensure that primary schools have their own managing bodies as recommended in the Plowden Report; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Gordon WalkerThis is a matter for local education authorities. But I am awaiting the results of a research project into the management and government of schools which is being financed by my Department, and in due course I will consider whether any further guidance should be issued.
