HC Deb 05 March 1999 vol 326 c954W
Mr. Brady

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what restrictions apply under the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 to teachers who are also parents eligible to vote in a ballot on the future of selective education. [74824]

Ms Estelle Morris

The same restrictions apply to teachers as to anyone else involved in ballots on the future admission arrangements of grammar schools. All parties involved should have regard to the Ballot Information Code set out in the Regulations. Staff in schools and LEAs should also bear in mind the provisions of Section 107 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998. This prohibits the use of public funds for campaign purposes.
