§ 25. Mr. Tom Clarkeasked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he next plans to have a meeting with the Educational Institute of Scotland to discuss educational standards in Scotland.
§ Mr. Allan StewartMy right hon. Friend has no immediate plans to do so. It is unlikely that any meaningful discussion could be held against the background of the Educational Institute of Scotland's continuing policy of disruptive industrial action which is affecting in particular reforms of the curriculum and of assessment which are designed to improve educational standards.
