HC Deb 11 January 1999 vol 323 c33W
Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if church representatives who serve on local education committees, will be able to retain an executive role in any of the new political structures proposed in "Modern local government: In Touch with the People", Cm 4014. [64489]

Mr. Raynsford

Our intention is that the new political structures will safeguard the present ability of church representatives to contribute to decision taking on the planning and provision of education services.
