§ Sir Keith JosephThere have been a number of meetings following the publication of "Better Schools" (Cmnd. 9469); in addition I have recently invited the voluntary bodies and the local authority associations to consider with the Department how I can achieve a closer match between capital expenditure at aided and special agreement schools and what is voted annually for this purpose.
