HC Deb 05 November 1969 vol 790 cc128-9W
44. Mr. W. H. K. Baker

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps he proposes to take to legalise the position of school-children undertaking work experience schemes; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ross

In June this year my Department wrote to education authorities about the existing law and informed them of the possibility that it might be modified when the school leaving age was raised; consideration of this question between the Departments concerned has already begun.
