HL Deb 25 March 1988 vol 495 c435WA
Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What steps they are taking to ensure continuity for the work of the Lambeth English Language Centre, if affected by the proposed abolition of ILEA.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Education and Science (Baroness Hooper)

My right honourable friend the Secretary of State has made it clear that the arrangements for property transfer and for staff transfer and recruitment will be designed to prevent any disruption to the education of children. It is too early to say precisely what arrangements will apply to individual institutions such as the Lambeth English Language Centre. That will become clearer as the individual councils prepare their development plans. These plans are due to be published by the end of February 1989 at the latest.
