Dr. Boyson

My right hon. and learned Friend received a detailed submission from the centre's governors in January and he has also received copies of various recent publications by the centre. These contain information about the local authorities and schools which are cooperating with the work being undertaken by the centre's field officers, about other authorities visited by centre staff, and about inquiries which authorities and teachers made to the centre last year. A list of the local authorities and schools concerned is not, however, available.
