HC Deb 15 January 1997 vol 288 c295W
Mr. Martyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what factors underlie the omission of the subject of Welsh in his projection of school assessment results; and if he will make a statement. [10403]

Mr. Jonathan Evans

The results for Welsh are included alongside those for the other core subjects in the national curriculum results booklets. As part of the bright future programme to raise standards of literacy and numeracy, Welsh is included in the performance indicators developed for the end of each key stage.
