§ Mr. Harry GreenwayTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science by what date he anticipates that all schools will be run on a local management basis; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ButcherMy right hon. Friend expects local management to be introduced progressively from April 1990. All secondary schools and all primary schools with 200 or more pupils in authorities outside inner London must receive delegated budgets by April 1993. For inner London boroughs, all qualifying schools must receive delegated budgets by April 1994.
