HC Deb 16 February 1982 vol 18 c113W
38. Mr. Waller

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if, following his draft circular of 24 November 1981, it is open to those local authorities that have already submitted section 12 proposals to him to withdraw or amend those proposals in the light of the advice given in that draft circular.

Dr. Boyson

My right hon. Friend's view is that local education authorities may not amend statutory proposals once these have been published; they may withdraw them and, if they choose, may publish fresh proposals in their place.
