§ Mrs. Ann TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Education how many copies have been printed of the revised edition of the booklet, "How to Become a Grant-Maintained School", published in June; what was the cost of(a) the design and (b) the production; when he proposes to make a further revision to take account of the provisions of the Education Bill; and how many copies he expects to distribute during the summer holiday period.
§ Mr. Robin SquireA total of 60,000 copies of the fourth edition of this booklet have been printed so far, at a cost of £4,611 for design, £9,950 for printing and £2,957 for other production costs. Distribution is predominantly in response to requests for copies of the booklet, which over the past year have averaged almost 15,000 a month. A fifth edition will be published shortly before the provisions in the present Education Bill on acquiring grant-maintained status are brought into effect.
