HC Deb 12 May 1981 vol 4 cc247-8W
23. Mr. Neale

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what progress has been made towards forging links between schools and industry; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Macfarlane

Both schools and industry are increasingly aware of the need to develop closer mutual links. Although much remains to be done, I am well pleased with the progress already made in this area.
