§ Mr. CartwrightTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science when the review of the school premises regulations announced on 2 October is to be completed; how the review is to be undertaken; when consultation with interested bodies is to begin; and when it is envisaged that the review will report to him and the Secretary of State for Wales.
§ Mr. FallonThe review will be conducted by a joint group of this Department's officials and representatives of the Welsh Office, and will draw on up-to-date information on educational needs and practice. Consultations with interested bodies are expected to begin at an early stage in the group's work. It is too early at this stage to say how long the review will take or when it will report to my right hon. Friends.
