HC Deb 23 July 1987 vol 120 c326W
Mr. Brandon-Bravo

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he intends to introduce legislation to restrict academic tenure.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

Yes. The Government's intention to legislate in this area at a suitable opportunity has been known for some time and our Bill will contain relevant provisions. My Department will be consulting representatives of those most closely concerned and I have today placed in the Library a document which forms the basis of those consultations.
