HC Deb 01 December 1987 vol 123 c523W
18. Mrs. Mahon

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he next plans to meet the Association of Metropolitan Authorities to discuss the financing of education; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

I have regular meetings with the local authority associations to discuss matters relating to education provision. I last met them on 21 October to discuss the Government's plans for local authority spending on education in 1988–89 and my proposals for education reform. No further meeting has been arranged.
