HC Deb 21 April 1989 vol 151 c351W
Mr. Battle

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on progress made on the designation of certification officers in educational establishments in England and Wales.

Mr. Gummer

Regulations 4(1) of the Personal Community Charge (Students) Regulations 1989 (SI No. 443) provides that the certification officer as regards an educational establishment shall be the individual having responsibility for registering the enrolment of students to courses of education provided by that establishment. There is no provision and no need for certification officers to be designated.
