Mr. Arnold Shaw

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science on what matters he has requested or received advice from the Educational Disadvantage Unit.

Miss Margaret Jackson

The Educational Disadvantage Unit advises my right hon. Friend on the matters referred to in Annex A to "Educational Disadvantage and the Educational Needs of Immigrants" (Cmnd. 5720). The Unit's recent activities include assisting the Governing Body in setting up the new Centre for Information and Advice on Educational Disadvantage and taking part in a series of seminars on educational disadvantage arranged by various local education authorities, as well as maintaining contact with a number of voluntary organisations working in this field.
