HC Deb 08 May 1990 vol 172 c40W
54. Mr. Conway

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will take steps to stop the publication of works of low educational quality aimed at assisting with GCSE studies.

Mrs. Rumbold

My right hon. Friend does not have, nor does he seek, the power to control the publication of educational material. It is for individual publishers to make their own decisions on what they publish; and for purchasers to decide what materials best meet their needs.
