HC Deb 07 July 1987 vol 119 c109W
46. Mr. Tony Lloyd

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what plans he has to improve the quality of education in the inner cities.

Mr. Dunn

It is our intention that educational measures should play a full part in the Government's initiatives in the inner cities. Our proposals for establishing city technology colleges will contribute to an improvement in education in these areas, as will our plans to give greater autonomy to schools and to reform the structure of education in inner London. We shall be considering whether there are other measures which we can usefully take.
