HC Deb 18 April 1978 vol 948 c72W
23. Mr. van Straubenzee

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what follow-up she proposes to the conference at York on comprehensive schools.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

A report on the conference will be published in the summer. I hope that it will stimulate all those concerned with comprehensive schools to look afresh at the best practices that exist. The conference confirmed my belief that we must press on as quickly as possible with the elimination of selection for secondary education.
