§ Mr. Win GriffithsTo ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to his answer of 28 March,Official Report, columns 520-21, what plans he has to develop the 118W existing specific programmes to improve reading skills among young children beyond 1995; and what plans he has to ensure that the expertise gained by those involved in reading recovery programmes will be utilised after 1995.
§ Mr. Robin SquireNo decisions have been taken about specific programmes beyond 1995. As I said in my answer of 28 March, we will consider what further action might be taken on reading recovery in the light of evidence from the trial and the independent research project, both of which have yet to be completed.
