HC Deb 22 May 1995 vol 260 c415W
Mr. Frank Cook

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if she will make a statement on the expected provision, quality and accountability of education services in the former Teesside county borough area when services in that area are provided by three education authorities as a result of local government reorganisation. [25217]

Mr. Robin Squire

The Government's aim in reorganising local government is to improve cost-effectiveness and the quality and co-ordination of local services. The role of local education authorities will not change specifically as a result of the reorganisation of local government. It will be for the new LEAs to play their part in ensuring that the education service is run at least as effectively as now.
