HL Deb 03 June 1997 vol 580 c22WA
Lord Lucas

asked Her Majesty's Government:

By what measure the achievement of the objective "all parents should be offered real choice through good quality schools, each with its own strengths and individual ethos" (to quote from the Labour Party manifesto) may be assessed; on what data that measure will be based; and by what means it may be derived therefrom; and

How they hope to procure the achievement of the objective "all parents should be offered real choice through good quality schools, each with its own strengths and individual ethos" (to quote from the Labour Party manifesto) in rural areas.

Baroness Blackstone

We will set out our plans for raising standards in all schools in a White Paper to be published before the end of summer term.
