HC Deb 08 April 1986 vol 95 c41W
18. Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what consideration has been given to introducing a four-term year; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Dunn

This suggestion has been considered on various occasions in the past, most recently by the National Association of Head Teachers and by a joint working party of the Association of County Councils and the Association of Metropolitan Authorities. In January the ACC published a discussion document and we shall be interested to see the response it receives.
