HC Deb 19 June 1980 vol 986 cc604-5W
Mr. Foster

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he has had representations from the local authority associations regarding the cost of implementing in full the draft regulations on information to parents.

Dr. Boyson

There are as yet no draft regulations. Mv right hon. and learned Friend hopes shortly to embark on formal consultations with the local authority associations, voluntary school bodies, teacher unions and other interested bodies on his proposals for the content of regulations to be made under sections 8(5) and (7) of the Education Act 1980 and will of course take account of any representations received when preparing draft regulations following these consultations
