HC Deb 06 March 1984 vol 55 c487W
35. Mr. Corbyn

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many additional civil servants he estimates will be needed in order to assess the precepts suggested by the proposed new joint board for education in Inner London, to decide on the level of manpower needed to staff it and to review its performance over the suggested three-year period.

Sir Keith Joseph

The additional work will be contained within the Department's manpower ceiling.

57. Mr. Dobson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will explain how his Department would review the education provided by the proposed joint board for education in inner London after May 1985; and how many additional civil servants he estimates would be necessary to undertake this task.

Sir Keith Joseph

I am considering how the performance of the new body should be reviewed after it comes into being in April 1986. The work will be contained within the Department's manpower ceiling.
