§ 17. Mr. RiddickTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has to introduce grant-maintained schools in Scotland; and if he will make a statement.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonThe legislative frame-work is in place and schools have been encouraged to consider the advantages of self-governing status. At St. Mary's Episcopal primary school, Dunblane the parents voted in favour of self-government status. The school board now has one month to submit proposals to the Secretary of State.
