HC Deb 19 July 2000 vol 354 cc201-2W
Mr. Willis

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what plans he has to carry out an assessment of the effectiveness of schools' organisation committees; and if he will take steps to give their role greater clarity. [131246]

Ms Estelle Morris

We shall be reviewing the issues which arise for School Organisation Committees as they increasingly become involved in complex school organisation decisions. This review will help us determine whether further guidance or changes in the procedures governing the conduct of Committees would be helpful.
