HC Deb 27 July 1977 vol 936 cc307-8W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science

the continued participation of private schools on the Council.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

I expect that independent schools will continue to benefit from the work of the Council. The Council is itself responsible for deciding its membership and structure, and will, no doubt, consider, in its current review, any representations made by the independent schools about their participation in the Council's work.
