GCSE (Distinction and Merit Certificates)

HC Deb 23 April 1985 vol 77 cc426-7W

37. Mr. Portillo

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he expects to announce the subject requirements at GCSE for his new distinction and merit certificates.

Mr. Dunn

My right hon. Friend hopes to make an announcement before the summer recess. The Department of Education and Science and the Welsh Office published proposals last December, and comments have been invited by the end of April.
