§ Mr. Don FosterTo ask the Secretary of State for Education whether consultation with a view to making new or revised local management of schools schemes for schools in local education authorities in England which are to undergo a structural reorganisation following the Local Government Commission recommendations will be undertaken before or after such a reorganisation; under which statutory provisions such consultations will take place; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ForthIt is too soon to assess the impact of local government reorganisation on LMS; it will differ from area to area, depending on the Local Government Commission's recommendations on structure.
