§ Mr. FatchettTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he or Ministers in his Department have held a meeting of the trustees of the grant-maintained schools trust.
§ Mrs. RumboldNeither I nor my Ministerial colleagues have held any such meeting. From time to time my right hon. Friend and I have had discussions with the chairman and director of the grant-maintained schools trust.
§ Mr. FatchettTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he first learnt that the grant-maintained schools trust had described itself in its literature as a registered charity; and if his Department took any action to point out the error.
§ Mrs. RumboldThe point was brought to my right hon. Friend's attention some weeks after the issue of the document, when he was also informed that the grant-maintained schools trust was itself taking steps to correct the error.
