§ Mr. PendryTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the reason for the delay in publishing the practical guidance booklet on dual use facilities; by what date the booklet will be published; if he will require specific responses to the guidance from all local education authorities, and particularly from those with responsibility for inner-city areas; and by what date he will publish an implementation timetable for proposed new schemes.
§ Mr. Atkins[holding answer 15 February 1991]: I refer the hon. Member to the reply that I gave him on 14 December 1990, Official Report, column 514. The dual use guidance booklet is currently being revised with a view to publication in the spring. The Department will continue to monitor good practice in this area, but there are no plans to require individual responses to the booklet from local education authorities or to publish an implementation timetable.
