HC Deb 18 April 1990 vol 170 c847W
Mr. Alfred Morris

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on his Department's meeting on 4 April with the deputation from Manchester education authority.

Mr. Alan Howarth

I met a delegation from the authority on 4 April. The delegation drew to my attention a number of concerns, especially the level of Manchester's annual capital guideline for 1990–91. The Department has made careful note of the points raised at the meeting and will bear them in mind in future discussions with the authority.
