§ 39. Mr. Andrew F. Bennettasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what further representations she had received about allowing parents access to their children's school records.
§ Miss Margaret JacksonMy right hon. Friend recently received representations from the National Council for Civil Liberties seeking her support for legislation giving parents the right of access to school records. She has replied that she sympathises with the council's general aim but in view of the complexity of the issue, the practical problems which arise, and the various consultations currently in train, the Government believe that it would be premature to introduce legislation at this time.
