Mrs. Renée Short
asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why the Association of Polytechnic Teachers is not recognised by his Department.
Dr. Boyson
This Association has been consulted by my Department on a number of issues and I have met its representatives on two recent occasions. As for recognition on national negotiating bodies, the Association is not represented on Burnham but has, very recently, submitted a formal application for membership of the teachers' panel of the Burnham FE committee, which will be given careful consideration by my right hon. and learned Friend.
