HC Deb 12 May 1993 vol 224 c495W
Ms Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what was his response to the letter of 23 April from the National Association of Schoolmasters/Union of Women Teachers requesting a meeting to discuss the dispute between the union and the London borough of Wandsworth.

Mr. Forth

My right hon. Friend's private secretary replied on his behalf on 30 April. She advised the NASUWT that it should make its concerns and views known to Sir Ron Dearing who is conducting a review of the national curriculum and assessment arrangements. She said that meanwhile there was no justification for abandoning this summer's tests or for a boycott of the tests, which would damage pupils' education and hamper the achievement of a more streamlined curriculum and assessment framework.
