§ Mr. MulleyTo date I have received 93 letters about the Schools Council recommendations on a common system of examining at 16 plus, including one from Wales from the National Association of Teachers of Wales. As I stated in the House on 3rd August in response to questions from the hon. Members for Sutton and Cheam (Mr. MacFarlane), Ise of Ely (Mr. Freud) and Gloucestershire, South (Mr. Cope), in general my replies have assured correspondents that their representations will be borne in mind.—[Vol. 916, c. 1420–1.]
