HC Deb 17 May 1988 vol 133 cc390-1W
46. Mr. Pawsey

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations he has received about the establishment of grant-maintained schools; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Dunn

My right hon. Friend has now received just over 1,000 letters about his proposals for grant-maintained schools, together with a variety of less formal representations. A number of these expressed interest in acquiring grant-maintained status for a particular school.
