HC Deb 25 October 1983 vol 47 c64W
24. Mr. Dobson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what information he has as to the effects of expenditure policies on music provision in English schools.

Mr. Dunn

LEAs must reach their own decisions on the detailed distribution of their expenditure. The Government considers, however, that music should have a secure place among the arts in the school curriculum, and the information available to my right hon. Friend suggests that this position is being sustained in the great majority of schools.
