HC Deb 06 June 1989 vol 154 c18W
24. Mr. Nicholas Brown

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether his Department has issued advice to careers departments in secondary schools in the past year; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Butcher

Her Majesty's Inspectorate published "Careers education and guidance from 5 to 16" in its "Curriculum Matters" series last year. This has informed local education authorities and schools, and authorities drew upon it when preparing the statements of future policy which they submitted recently to my right hon. Friend and my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Employment.
