After-school Clubs (Hansard, 22 October 2001)

HC Deb 22 October 2001 vol 373 c37W 37W

Mr. Gareth R. Thomas
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what action she is taking to allow schools to run after-school clubs on their premises; and if she will make a statement.[8173]

§ Mr. Timms
Through the White Paper "Schools achieving success", launched in September, we gave our intention to legislate to enable school governors to run a wide range of family and community facilities and services, including child care.
Under existing legislation, school governors are able to run study support (out of school hours learning) activities and this will not be affected by the proposed changes.
