HC Deb 11 March 1999 vol 327 c317W
Mrs. May

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment when he plans to announce the findings of his review of the national curriculum; and if he will make a statement. [75661]

Mr. Charles Clarke

[holding answer 9 March 1999]: We will be consulting widely on draft proposals for revisions to the National Curriculum during the summer. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State will then make final decisions in the early autumn before the revised National Curriculum is sent to schools. Schools will then have most of the 1999–2000 school year to prepare for any changes from September 2000.
