§ Mr. Michael Brownasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science, pursuant to his reply to the hon. Member for Wolverhampton North-East, (Mrs. Short) Official Report, 22 November 1979, c. 298, when he proposes to publish the response of the Schools Council on 16-plus examinations; and if he will make a statement.
§ Dr. BoysonThe Schools Council's views on sixth-form examinations were submitted to my right hon. and learned Friend on 3 January and they are being examined alongside the proposals in the Keohane report. It is not the Department's normal practice to publish Schools Council documents. However, I understand that a limited number of copies will shortly be available from the council in keeping with normal practice.
