HC Deb 17 May 1988 vol 133 c392W
50. Mr. Jim Marshall

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he expects to publish a further report of the science curriculum working group; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Rumbold

The science curriculum working group has been asked to submit its recommendations for attainment targets and programmes of study in a final report to be submitted to my right hon. Friend by 30 June 1988. I envisage that this report will be published and that, together with any comments by my right hon. Friend, it will form the basis for consultation through the National Curriculum Council as regards England.
