HC Deb 20 May 1980 vol 985 cc137-8W
Mr. Michael Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish in the Official Report the names of those local education authorities which currently, or plan to, charge pupils for music lessons in secondary schools; and what is the level of those charges.

Mr. Macfarlane
