HC Deb 22 November 1976 vol 919 c942W
Mr. McCusker

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will extend the period of consultation on the future of secondary education in Northern Ireland until 31st December 1977.

Mr. Carter

No. The closing date for the submission of views has only recently been extended to Easter 1977. This is eight and a half months after publication and should provide ample time for views to be formulated and submitted.
