HC Deb 11 May 1993 vol 224 c407W
Mr. Jim Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what representations he has received from(a) parent governors and (b) teachers regarding the length of the school day or week.

Mr. Forth

My right hon. Friend has received written representations about the length of the school day from 14 parents, two governors and three teachers in the past 12 months. Letters received from governors and teachers have generally been concerned with the procedures required to change the length of the school day; and letters from parents with the desirability of a longer school day.
