Mr. Redmond : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list by school within the Doncaster local education authority (a) the present and (b) the forecast figure for pupils in primary schools ; and what additional funding he intends to provide for new schools in this area.
Mr. Alan Howarth : No proposals for new schools in Doncaster are currently before my right hon. Friend for decision. I understand, however, that the Doncaster education authority is intending to publish proposals shortly for a new 9-13 age range middle school in the Balby Woodfield area. Priority is given in the allocation of annual capital guidelines for new school places needed as a result of population growth.
The following information was provided by the Doncaster local education authority :

Member for Banbury (Mr. Baldry) on 20 December 1989, ( Official Report, columns 254-58, with the correction that "Primary" should be substituted for "Private"). ACGs are made on an annual basis.

Mr. Cohen : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what progress has been made in issuing guidance concerning the responsibilities of governors of state schools under the Data Protection Act and the purposes for which the governors may hold personal data ; and whether he will make a statement.
Mrs. Rumbold : The necessary guidance will be issued as soon as possible.
Mr. Cohen : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations he has received concerning the way colleges and universities respond to requests from a community charges registration officer concerning students ; whether he will allocate additional grants so that these institutions need only disclose information about students resident in a particular charging authority area ; and whether he will make a statement.
Mr. Jackson : Apart from the question asked by the hon. Member on 26 October 1989 ( Official Report, col. 536 ), my right hon. Friend has received no representations concerning the way colleges and universities respond to requests from community charges registration officers (CCROs) about students. As I said in reply to the earlier question, the information needs of CCROs are a matter for my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for the Environment.
Ms. Armstrong : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many copies of the interim report of the geography working group and the history working group were sent to local education authorities for consultation.

Column 6
at the time they were published. Further copies were offered to authorities and others on application to the Department and many availed themselves of this offer.Ms. Armstrong : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many people with inner-city school experience are members of (a) the history working group and (b) the geography working group in the preparation of the national curriculum.
Mrs. Rumbold : Two members of the history working group and three members of the geography working group have had experience either of teaching in inner cities or of working closely with school teachers in inner-city areas.
Ms. Armstrong : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many people with primary teaching experience are members of (a) the history working group and (b) the geography working group in the preparation of the national curriculum.
Mrs. Rumbold : Four out of 12 members of the history working group and four out of 12 members of the geography working group have had teaching experience in primary schools or are employed as advisers with responsibilities for primary schools.
Ms. Armstrong : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many school pupils aged 14 to 16 years are currently studying (a) history and (b) geography expressed in total numbers and as a percentage of the total numbers of school pupils.
Mrs. Rumbold : The latest readily available information--taken from the 1988 secondary school staffing survey--indicated that the following numbers and percentages of pupils were studying history, geography and combined courses which might include history and geography in the third, fourth and fifth secondary years in England :
Year group |3 |4 |5 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Pupils studying history number |490,000|225,000|250,000 as a percentage of all pupils in the year group |90 |40 |42 Pupils studying geography number |490,000|260,000|275,000 as a percentage of all pupils in the year group |90 |46 |46 Pupils studying combined courses within the arts/ humanities/social science fields number |60,000 |50,000 |45,000 as a percentage of all pupils in the year group |11 |9 |7
The secondary school staffing survey was carried out in March 1988 based on a representative 10 per cent. sample of maintained secondary schools in England.
Ms. Armstrong : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science which organisations, other than local education authorities, have been sent copies of the interim reports of (a) the history working group and (b) the geography working group ; and how many copies were sent to each organisation.

Mrs. Rumbold : In considering schemes for local management of schools submitted by local education authorities, my right hon. Friend has been concerned to ensure that appropriate and effective provision is made for pupils with special educational needs. This follows the requirement in circular 7/78 on local management of schools that LEAs' schemes should reflect the incidence of pupils with special educational needs in their schools.
Mr. Fatchett : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) if he will identify those local education authorities for which he has agreed schemes for financial delegation of colleges where the costs of premature retirement, severance and dismissal are treated as exceptions to the scheme ; and if he will make a statement ;
(2) if he will number those local education authorities for which he has agreed schemes for financial delegation of colleges where the costs of premature retirement, severance and dismissal are treated as exceptions to the scheme ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Jackson : Of schemes approved to date, the following local education authorities allow for the costs of premature retirement, severance and dismissal to be treated as an exception to the scheme :
