HC Deb 11 March 1985 vol 75 cc31-2W
Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on the effect that the introduction of AS levels will have on school sixth forms.

Mr. Dunn

My right hon. Friend hopes to announce the Government's decision about AS levels before Easter. The objectives of the proposed new examinations and the implications for schools and colleges were discussed in the consultative paper of May 1984.
