Mr. Robert AinsworthTo ask the Secretary of State for Education what information he has about attendance levels at school annual general meetings, costs of calling them and the numbers that are inquorate.
§ Mr. ForthAll parents of pupils registered at a school are eligible to attend the annual parents' meeting. Information as to the numbers of parents attending annual parents' meetings and the costs of calling them is not collected by the Department. It would appear that in general, parental attendance is disappointing, although there are instances of very successful meetings.
