§ Mr. PawseyTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will give the reasons for his decision not to give to his Department responsibility for providing advice to governors and managers.
§ Mr. FallonThe Department has produced and supported a number of publications and training materials to help school governors, including a loose-leaf handbook supplied to all governors giving information about their responsibilities. Local education authorities also need to provide detailed information and training for governors, as required by the Education (No. 2) Act 1986. The Department encourages their efforts through the grants for education support and training programme, which will cover some £24 million of expenditure on governor support in the four years to 1993.
