HL Deb 09 March 1989 vol 504 c1692WA
Baroness David

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How their plans for the consolidation of the Education Acts have developed.

The Lord Chancellor (Lord Mackay of Clashfern)

The Law Commission state in their twenty-third annual report (para. 2.64) that work has begun on a consolidation of the Education Acts. I understand however that this is a major project, and that even with counsel working on it full-time it is unlikely that a Consolidation Bill will be ready for introduction before May 1990 at the earliest.
