HC Deb 25 June 1982 vol 26 c184W
Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what income the Schools Council now receives from royalties; and to whom this income will accrue under his proposals to abolish the council.

Dr. Boyson

The Schools Council Publications Company estimates that it will receive some £225,000 from royalties and sales in 1982–83. The Government's proposals for the replacement of the School Council by an Examinations Council and a School Curriculum Development Council are now the subject of discussion with the local authority associations and other interests. The position of the publications company and the income it receives for royalties and sales will be covered in these discussions.
