HC Deb 10 April 1984 vol 58 c164W
Mr. Nicholas Baker

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what conclusions he has reached on the recommendations in the review, "The Legal Basis of Further Education."

Sir Keith Joseph

After careful consideration of the recommendations in the review "The Legal Basis of Further Education", and taking account of other measures now in hand to promote efficiency and effectiveness in further education, the Government have decided not to introduce new legislation on further education at present. It remains open to any local education authority which considers that its scheme of further education made under section 42 of the Education Act 1944 is unsatisfactory to propose modifications for approval by the holder of my office.
