HC Deb 12 May 1981 vol 4 cc249-50W
Mr. David Young

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will now announce his decision of Bolton's comprehensive reorganisation proposals.

Mr. Mark Carlisle

A letter has been delivered to the Bolton education authority today indicating that I am considering approving these proposals with two modifications and, in accordance with section 12(6) of the Education Act 1980, inviting their comments and views on the modifications I have in mind. I will announce my final decision when I have had opportunity to consider the authority's reply.
