HC Deb 17 July 1984 vol 64 cc107-8W
43. Mr. Stern

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what response he has received so far to his proposals for a single system of examination at 16-plus.

Sir Keith Joseph

The letters which I have received have been overwhelmingly in favour of the proposals for the GCSE. Teachers' associations and other bodies who have commented have also been solid in their support.
