14. Mr. Skinner

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he has any discussions with local authority associations with regard to careers education; and if he will make a statement.

My right hon. Friend has not done so recently but he and my right hon. Friends the Secretaries of State for Employment and for Wales have promoted the widest collaboration in careers education and guidance through the "Working Together" initiative which they launched two years ago.

18. Mr. Turner

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what advice he has given in the current year to secondary schools with regard to careers education.
