HC Deb 13 February 1987 vol 110 c369W
Mr. Robert Atkins

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what guidance he gives to boards as to the standards of spelling, syntax and use of the English language which should be required in A-level examinations.

Mrs. Rumbold

None. The GCE boards are independent bodies wholly responsible for the content and conduct of A-level examinations.
