MOTOR VEHICLES STUDIES

Early day motion 307, tabled 8 February 2001 by Tony McWalter (Labour/Co-operative). Signed by 27 members.

That this House notes that it is possible to study for a GCSE in motor vehicle and road user studies in Northern Ireland but not in the rest of the UK; notes recent statements by the Secretary of State for Education and Employment suggesting that opportunities to undertake study which is vocational and job-directed need to be expanded; and accordingly asks that the opportunity to study automative subjects be made available to pupils in years 10 and 11 of secondary school in other regions of the United Kingdom.

Signatures by party: Labour 19, Liberal Democrat 4, Labour/Co-operative 3, Conservative 1.
