HC Deb 21 February 1986 vol 92 c352W
Mr. Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science which local education authorities have appointed a teacher to be responsible for drug awareness in their work; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Dunn

In a considerable number of local education authorities, schools, colleges or the authorities themselves have assigned functions in this area to teaching staff. As from 1 April this year, this work will receive considerable reinforcement from the appointment of advisers or other specialist staff funded by the Department through the education support grant.
