HC Deb 08 July 1974 vol 876 c337W
Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he is satisfied that all "career opportunity" publications at present available in schools meet acceptable standards.

Mr. Armstrong

I am satisfied with the standard of publications circulated through official sources. I cannot answer for other publications which schools may receive.

Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will consider issuing a circular to local authorities and educational establishments advising against advertising in career opportunity publications which do not meet acceptable standards.

Mr. Armstrong

No. It is for individual local education authorities and educational establishments to decide where to place advertisements.
