§ Sir Thomas ArnoldTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what recent representations he has received about the responsibilities of governors under the local management of schools.
§ Mr. FallonMy right hon. and learned Friend continues to receive representations from governing bodies, head teachers, parents and others about the responsibilities of governing bodies under the local management of schools. My right hon. and learned Friend and I are determined to ensure that more resources get down to the school level. It will then be for governors to decide how best to use them. I believe that governors will enjoy the freedom to make their own decisions.
