Proceeding contribution from Maria Miller (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 January 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Science Teaching.


Science Teaching

I should like to pick up on the point that the Minister made about the importance of imaginative practical work. The National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts has estimated that 87 per cent. of science teachers have been prevented from letting their students undertake practical work because they believe that health and safety regulations prohibit them from doing so. What work are the Government doing to help science teachers in this area, which is critical to the issue that the hon. Member for Bolton, South-East has raised?
