§ Mr. Win GriffithsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what assessment he has made of the effective provision of personal and social education programmes in schools in the last two years.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsPersonal and social education is subject to inspection by Her Majesty's inspectors of schools who have undertaken several surveys of aspects of its provision in parts of Wales over the past two years.
HMI has also addressed the subject, as appropriate, in its report on individual schools. Our new arrangements for inspections by registered inspectors will ensure more published reports on all aspects of the life of a school.
For 1993–94, the Welsh Office will be supporting expenditure by local education authorities to support schools in the personal and social development of young people.
