§ 24. Mr. Hastingsasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he has studied the report published on 30th October by the National Association of Schoolmasters about discipline in schools; and what proposals he has to make in connection with this matter.
§ Mr. ArmstrongYes. I have studied this report and also one published by the National Union of Teachers which includes teachers' views about pupils' attitudes and behaviour. These contributions and others which the profession will no doubt wish to offer will be important factors in the consultations I shall shortly be holding.
