HC Deb 26 March 2003 vol 402 c283W
Mr. Willis

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what he estimates to be the cost of the joint LEA and DfES awareness campaign, to be run in April, to highlight key messages on attendance monitoring to local education authorities. [104418]

Mr. Ivan Lewis

The joint Department for Education and Skills and Cabinet Office document: "Making A Difference" Reducing Red Tape and Bureaucracy In Schools—Second Report contains a typographical error at page 6 of the Executive Summary. In the outcome relating to LEA monitoring of attendance, the acronym "LEA" should read "LGA" (Local Government Association). The related action, to be found at page 23 of the report, explains that work on the joint DfES/LGA awareness campaign will begin from April 2003. This initial work will include scoping the extent of the campaign and its likely cost.
