HC Deb 25 June 1991 vol 193 c456W
Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on the future of(a) A-levels and (b) the proposed ordinary and advanced diplomas.

Mr. Eggar

The White Paper "Education and Training for the 21st century", published last month, makes clear the Government's commitment to maintaining A-levels and the standards they represent. Formal consultation will begin shortly on the new system of ordinary and advanced diplomas.
