HC Deb 05 April 1995 vol 257 c1190W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what response she is sending to the Royal Microscopical Society in respect of its proposal that there should be a microscope in every school. [16375]

Mr. Forth

Officials replied to the Royal Microscopical Society's proposal on 2 March 1995. The reply welcomed the society's initiative and wished it well, while making it clear that it is for schools and local authorities to decide what equipment they need to meet the requirements of the national curriculum. A copy of the reply has been placed in the Library.
