§ Mr. DykesTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he is satisfied to date with the amount of corporate and business sponsorship of educational projects in primary and secondary schools.
§ Mrs. RumboldSeveral major companies are very active in this field, but there is always scope for further development. The Government are keen that more small and medium-sized firms should become involved and that links with primary schools, in particular, should be strengthened. We have today published a booklet—"Education and Industry: Partners for the Future"—which illustrates the variety of good practice in school-industry links. I have arranged for copies to be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
