To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how he intends to respond to letters he has received from head teachers, parents and governors in Liverpool expressing concern regarding the implementation of the Education Act 1988.

All letters to this Department will continue to receive appropriate replies which I hope the recipients find helpful.

Mr. Parry

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many letters of concern regarding the implementation of the Education Act 1988 he has received from head teachers, parents and governors throughout the United Kingdom.

The information is not readily available in the form requested. My right hon. Friend frequently receives correspondence about various aspects of the provisions of the Education Reform Act 1988 from head teachers, parents and governors.
