HC Deb 15 April 1981 vol 3 c170W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is his policy towards paragraph 27 of Her Majesty's Inspectorate's expenditure policies report that the continuation of present expenditure policies must have substantial adverse effects on some schools.

Mr. Michael Roberts

It is for local education authorities to decide how best to minimise any adverse effects on schools of essential financial constraints, but Her Majesty's Inspectorate will continue to monitor the situation.
