HC Deb 13 January 1977 vol 923 cc556-7W
Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she is satisfied that adequate liaison exists between industry, teaching unions and local education authorities over the fixing of school summer holidays.

Miss Margaret Jackson

Local education authorities do take account of the view of parents, teachers and major local employers, as well as the incidence of national and local "traditional" holidays in deciding the timing and duration of summer holidays.
