§ Mr. Dorrellasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on education in Toxteth.
§ Sir Keith JosephHer Majesty's Inspectorate of Schools today issued a report on education in Toxteth to the Liverpool education authority and I am arranging for copies to be made available in the Vote Office. Based upon HMI's inspections, visits and general work in the area, the report examines the educational provision made in Toxteth within its social and economic context. The report identifies a number of matters requiring attention and I am inviting the new authority to discuss their implications with me as a matter of urgency.
