§ Mr. Cleggasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what progress 480W he is making with his talks with local education authorities about violence and vandalism in schools; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ArmstrongI intend that my Department should begin discussions about violent aspects of school behaviour as soon as possible. A small informal working group set up with the Home Office and local authority associations has already started to consider measures to increase the protection of school property against vandalism.
