HC Deb 01 July 1998 vol 315 cc219-20W
Mr. Laurence Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will publish information in similar format to that in "School Governors: A Guide to the Law", showing for each type of school proposed by the School Standards and Framework Bill the division of responsibilities between the local education authority, the head teacher and the governing body, assuming the implementation of the proposals in the Bill. [47859]

Mr. Byers

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Employment plans to issue guidance on the new provisions set out in the School Standards and Framework Bill. Guidance on individual aspects of the Bill will take care to explain what actions need to be taken by the various parties. Revised versions of "School Governors: A Guide to the Law" will be issued in 1999 to reflect the new school framework which will apply from 1 September 1999.
