§ Mr. Peter ThomasMy right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education and Science last month invited all the main local authority and teachers' associations to comment on a draft circular dealing with this transfer, and all these bodies had meetings with officials on 20th October. Subsequently my right hon.
