Baroness David

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether, following the establishment of literacy centres, they have any specific plans to improve the availability of books and teaching materials in schools.

Lord Henley

The specification against which local education authorities bid for GEST funds to host literacy centres included funding for the purchase of books and any IT or other equipment related to the school's strategy for raising standards in literacy.
