§ 48. Mr. Simon Mahonasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science in view of the difficulties parents of children attending schools experienced during periods of educational reorganisation, if he will advise local education authorities to adopt a flexible policy in matters affecting individual children, until reorganisation is completed; and if he will make a statement.
§ Miss BaconIn examining reorganisation proposals I pay close attention to how the arrangements will affect pupils at the various stages of implementation. I do not think that any general advice would be appropriate, but I hope that local education authorities will always be as flexible as possible in considering the needs of individual pupils.
