§ Mr. Roebuckasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science on what date he rejected the latest schemes submitted by the London Borough of Harrow for the reorganisation of secondary education along comprehensive lines; and when he expects a fresh scheme to be submitted.
§ Miss BaconI rejected the authority's plan in October, 1968. I hope that, following the establishment of a Working Party by the Authority to consider modified proposals, it will be possible for them to submit an acceptable plan at an early date.
§ Mr. Roebuckasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science on what date he informed the London Borough of Harrow that his officers would be available for consultation about the reorganisation of secondary education along comprehensive lines; on what date this offer was taken up; and what has been the result.
§ Miss BaconThe Authority were informed last October. There have since been two informal meetings between my officers and those of the authority in January and May, 1969, and a further meeting is to take place shortly. I hope that these discussions will assist the authority to produce an acceptable plan.
