HC Deb 04 July 1994 vol 246 cc76-7W
Mr. Don Foster

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what action he intends to take to correct mistakes in the parents charter relating to parents' legal duty to provide education for their children; what additional cost will be incurred; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Robin Squire

The updated parents charter is a brief introduction to the operation of the school system, and explains many of the important changes that have taken place. It is a popular summary for parents and the general public as a whole, not a definitive guide to the law. My right hon. Friend sees no need to issue a correction in respect of parent's duty to provide education for their children.
