HC Deb 22 July 1996 vol 282 c58W
Mr. Byers

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if she will amend the Education (National Curriculum) (Assessment Arrangements for the Core Subjects) Order 1995 to require external marking agencies to provide pupil level data to local education authorities when requested to do so. [38258]

Mr. Paice

It would not be possible to amend the Education (National Curriculum) (Assessment Arrangements for the Core Subjects) Orders in this way. The powers under which the orders are made would not extend to such an amendment.
