§ 35. Mr. Ovendenasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she has yet received satisfactory proposals from the Kent county council concerning the introduction of comprehensive education throughout that authority's area.
§ Miss Margaret JacksonMy right hon. Friend has received 17 sets of proposals from the Kent county council for the introduction of comprehensive education throughout that authority's area. She has found one proposal to be generally satisfactory; six to be unsatisfactory as regards the proposed use of resources and the proposed date for ending selection, and seven to be wholly unsatisfactory: my right hon. Friend has not yet reached a decision on the three remaining sets of 115W proposals. My right hon. Friend has required the Kent county council to prepare and submit within a specified period, usually three months, further proposals in substitution for the 13 sets of proposals which she has found unsatisfactory.
