HC Deb 15 March 1977 vol 928 cc151-2W
38. Mr. Madden

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what advice has been issued by circular to local education authorities by her Department regarding the attendance of Press and public at local education committee meetings.

Miss Margaret Jackson

Guidance regarding admission of the public including the Press to meetings of local authorities and their committees was given in a joint circular from the Department of the Environment (No. 45/75) dated 16th April 1975 entitled "Publicity for the Work of Local Authorities". A copy of this circular is available in the Library. This guidance covers the attendance of Press and public at local education committee meetings and my Department has not issued separate advice.
