HC Deb 15 April 1981 vol 3 cc169-70W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what are the educational implications for examinations and assessment performance of pupils of the lengthening of winter and spring holidays and the reduced teaching time for pupils sitting public examinations which this entails, as set out in paragraph 25 of Her Majesty's Inspectorate's expenditure policies report.

Mr. Michael Roberts

It is for local education authorities and schools to ensure that such measures do not affect significantly the educational experience of pupils.
