HC Deb 05 February 1980 vol 978 c155W
60. Mr. Marks

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he expects to announce his decision on the Tameside education authority's proposals for secondary school reorganisation.

Dr. Boyson

The statutory period of notice expired on 31 December 1979 and my right hon. and learned Friend is now considering the authority's proposals and the objections that have been made. A decision will be reached as quickly as possible; I shall arrange for the hon. Member to be informed of the outcome.
