HC Deb 21 April 1989 vol 151 c313W
Mr. Hardy

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he has received representations concerning the increase in responsibilities placed upon school governors.

Mrs. Rumbold

There have been some representations on this point. But the successful recruitment of thousands of new governors last year suggests that they are not daunted by their new responsibilities. The Government are working to ensure that school governors get the support and training that they need to carry out their role effectively.
