§ Mr. Andrew F. Bennettasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what progress has been made to fixing a common leaving date for all school leavers now due to leave at the end of the summer terms; and whether it will be possible in 1975 for such a date to be used.
§ Mr. ArmstrongI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given on 10th December to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Hemel Hempstead (Mr. Corbett).—[Vol. 883, col. 115.] Any change in school leaving dates would require legislation.
