HC Deb 09 December 1981 vol 14 c421W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he has any plans to change the law in regard to the duty on local education authorities to provide adult or further education.

Mr. William Shelton

As announced in answer to the question from my hon. Friend the Member for Wokingham (Sir W. van Straubenzee) on 17 June last, the Government will in due course bring forward their own proposals for any changes in the law relating to further education, including adult education. The comments received on the report by officials are now being considered by my Department.
