§ Mr. Robin Squire[holding answer 11 November 1996]: The Department has laid today a deregulation order relating to the distribution of school action plans. The effect of the order is to reduce unnecessary burdens on schools by allowing them to send parents a summary of the school action plan, instead of the full text. This order will be considered by the Deregulation Committee in due course.
