HC Deb 22 October 1993 vol 230 cc367-8W
Mr. Bill Michie

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what weight he gives, in considering representations from governors and parents of schools in Sheffield, to the overall policies and objectives set out by Sheffield local education authority.

Mr. Robin Squire

In so far as statutory proposals for the organisation of schools reflect the overall policies and objectives set out by a local education authority, my right hon. Friend looks at each case on its merits, having regard to all relevant factors including statutory objections and other representations made to him.
