§ Mr. KirkwoodTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether the regulations which he intends to make providing a right of access by parents and older pupils to education records will include the records maintained on pupils by the education welfare service of local education authorities.
§ Mr. ButcherOur consultation paper proposed that the regulations should not allow access to documents in the pupil record which had been recorded by outside bodies, and suggested that reports by education welfare officers would fall within that category. We shall be announcing our proposals for these regulations shortly.
