HC Deb 12 June 1990 vol 174 c172W
23. Mr. Janner

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he proposes to announce details of the national curriculum on history.

Mrs. Rumbold

My right hon. Friend published the final report of the history working group on 3 April. That document is currently the subject of consultation which ends on 15 June. After this and in the light of the responses received my right hon. Friend will make his proposals. These will then be published by the National Curriculum Council and subject to consultation in England required by the Education Reform Act.
